| Description: | Advanced high-temperature materials are key players in the emerging new technologies which are pushing forward the structural-aerospace, propulsion-system, defense, nuclear, thermal and chemical industries. Accelerating efforts have been directed towards increasing the operating-temperature limits of existing material systems and developing new material compositions such as advanced ceramics, UHTCs, intermetallics and CMCs. Understanding and controlling the behavior of the microstructures and properties of such materials have become key elements in these research activities. Since processing may itself engender various unique microstructural configurations and properties, the routes taken when obtaining optimum structures are also of primordial importance. In this special volume, an attempt has been made to present a large number of the more well-known ultra high-temperature ceramics, refractory borides and oxides; together with their composites, plus intermetallics and CMCs. The collection provides a pot-pourri of invaluable acquired experience, as well as a comprehensive portfolio of state-of-the-art processing techniques; all written by experts in their respective fields. Synthesis, processing and microstructure-property interrelationships are comprehensively explored for each of the systems chosen. |
