High Performance Ceramic Films and Coatings: Proceedings of the Satellite Symposium I on High Performance Ceramic Films and Coatings of the 7th Inte (Materials Science Monographs, 67)

The contributions in this volume concentrate on recent progress in CVD, PVD, thermal spraying, epitaxial growth, sol/gel and related techniques used to deposit monolayer, multilayer, composite, hybrid and multifunctional ceramic thin/thick films and coatings on metal and ceramic substrates. The 71 papers, including 9 invited, report on the results of studies on the characterization of structural and functional properties of materials for a number of applications such as wear, erosion, corrosion, thermal protection, and uses in electronic, magnetic, optical and opto-electronic devices.
