Ceramic-matrix composites are strong, tough, environmentally stable, light in weight, and have the ability to withstand high operating temperatures. These characteristics make them viable candidate materials for high temperature structural applications. Twenty three are included in this volume describing the latest developments in the areas of ceramic fibers, processing and fabrication, oxide and non-oxide composites, carbon-carbon composites, geopolymer composites, mechanical behavior, corrosion and environmental effects, characterization, fiber-matrix interface, design of composites, and thermal/environmental barrier coatings. Proceedings of the symposium held at the 105th Annual Meeting of The American Ceramic Society, April 27-30, in Nashville, Tennessee; Ceramic Transactions, Volume 153.

Advances in Ceramic Matrix Composites IX

Sridhar Komarneni

The only book to provide a complete survey -- from the crystallographic fundamentals right up to recent high-tech applications in aerospace technology. Following a general introduction to the topic, the authors go on to cover the crystal chemistry of mullite and related phases, as well as its basic properties, phase equilibria and stability. One whole section is devoted to the synthesis and processing of mullite ceramics, while later ones cover mullite coatings, fibers and matrix composites. For materials scientists, solid state chemists and physicists, crystallographers and mineralogists.

Mullite and Mullite Ceramics H. Schneider, German Aerospace Establishment, Köln, Germany K. Okada, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan J. A. Pask, University of California at Berkeley, USA Due to it’s outstanding properties, mullite is one of the most important materials in crystallography and ceramic science and technology today. This monograph presents for the first time an authoritative survey of current knowledge of mullite and mullite ceramics. Beginning with the structure and crystal chemistry, the authors go on to discuss the phase equilibria, synthesis, processing, and the mechanical and thermal properties of mullite. The book ends with a section reviewing the recent knowledge on the application of mullite ceramics. Mullite and Mullite Ceramics will prove invaluable to researchers and students of materials science, engineering and solid state chemistry. All three authors are internationally renowned for their work on mullite, they have published many papers, and are actively researching the area.
