Surface-active Processes in Materials

Daniel, who loves cats but is allergic to them, is delighted when his inventive neighbor Professor George builds him a bionic cat with fiber-optic fur, computer-controlled joints, electronic eyes, and ceramic-sensor whiskers.

Boing-Boing the Bionic Cat

Donald R. Ulrich

A presentation of the proceedings and papers of the International Conference, this volume examines the state of the science of producing ceramic, glass, and composite materials using the new methods of chemical micromorphology, and transformation based processing, along with practical applications. Discusses the potential for producing materials with unique properties and the possibility of controlling long-term reliability.

Ultrastructure Processing of Ceramics, Glasses, and Composites

Jon K. West

A modern introduction to the physical principles of electronic ceramic materials. Describes theory in structural terms via the language of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, bridging the gap between purely theoretical solid-state texts and strictly applied materials science texts. Most of the equations employed are derived from first principles. Each chapter describes the relevant properties of the materials covered, presents applications of the theory, and includes a graded set of problems (some to be done on a computer). Adopts the convention of the American Ceramic Society. Contains tables and figures.

Principles of Electronic Ceramics

A comprehensive treatment of producing ceramic, glass, and composite materials using chemistry-based processing methods. Synthesizes the most up-to-date research. Includes new areas of computer aided processing, molecular calculations of ceramic processing reactions, and chemical control of surface films. Contributions from over 115 experts in the field. Index.

Science of Ceramic Chemical Processing

E. C. Ethridge

An Interfacial Approach

Biomaterials

A unique perspective of twentieth century research and development in materials science. It summarizes the fifteen years of sol-gel silica processing research leading to the commercial development of bioactive gel-glasses for medical applications. It demonstrates the combined use of quantum mechanical molecular modeling and spectroscopy to solve environmental stability problems. A final chapter addresses the topic of Technology Transfer - how to transfer technology from the laboratory to a profitable commercial enterprise using examples from various chapters in the book.
