| Description: | In spite of the very great progress made in ceramic science, and the elegance and excitement of the research which has been performed, the real driving force for developments in ceramics remains their potential applications. The opportunity for dramatic scientific advances was certainly one reason for the "ceramic fever" of a decade ago, but there is also no doubt that the prediction of an annual market for fine ceramics, amounting to 6 billion Yen played a role. The challenge is to ensure that ceramics can be successfully introduced into the full breadth of applications where their properties have long made them so appealing. The present volume takes a refreshing and firm step towards the realization of this aim. The publication of a book which sets out to present ceramics from the specific point of view of applications is an event greatly to be welcomed. Systematic organization into various types of application ensures that the reader can fully appreciate the outstanding opportunities offered; and the present limitations. Armed with such a survey, the engineer and scientist will be fully alert to possibilities for progress whenever these arise. 1. Introduction. 2. Electrical and Electronic Functions. 3. Magnetic Functions. 4. Chemical and Physical Functions. 5. Mechanical and Thermal Functions. 6. Biological Functions. 7. Nuclear Applications. 8. Ceramic Coatings. 9. Selected Ceramics with Multi-Applications. |
