High-Performance Ceramics 2001 (Key Engineering Materials)

During the 1980s and 1990s, China (whose very name has long been synonymous with "ceramic" in the English language) has continued its ancient history of technological excellence in this field by also becoming one of the most active centres of scientific excellence in the field of high- performance ceramics. Building upon the success of the first conference in the series, the Second China International Conference on High-Performance Ceramics (CICC-2) offered an international forum for the presentation, discussion and review of advances in the science and technology of high-performance ceramics. This volume comprises 175 papers, and covers almost all aspects of the field: including functional ceramics, structural ceramics, and the processing and evaluation of ceramics.
