Advances in Ceramic Matrix Composites IV: Ceramic Transactions (Ceramic Transactions, Vol. 96)

Places particular emphasis on fabrication, test methods and fiber-matrix interfaces. The interface plays a very crucial role in the performance of the ceramic matrix composites. Covers the latest developments in oxide, non-oxide, glass and glass-ceramic composites, composite reinforcements, fiber architecture, composite fabrication and processing, protective coatings, interfaces, characterization and test methods, mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, environmental effects, micromechanical modeling and design, and joining methods.
