Ceramic materials are inorganic and non-metallic porcelains, tiles, enamels, cements, glasses and refractory bricks. Today, "ceramics" has gained a wider meaning as a new generation of materials influence on our lives; electronics, computers, communications, aerospace and other industries rely on a number of their uses. In general, advanced ceramic materials include electro-ceramics, optoelectronic-ceramics, superconductive ceramics and the more recent development of piezoelectric and dielectric ceramics. They can be considered for their features including mechanical properties, decorative textures, environmental uses, energy applications, as well as their usage in bio-ceramics, composites, functionally graded materials, intelligent ceramics and so on.
Advanced Ceramic Materials brings together a group of subject matter experts who describe innovative methodologies and strategies adopted in the research and development of the advanced ceramic materials. The book is written for readers from diverse backgrounds across chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, medical science, pharmacy, environmental technology, biotechnology, and biomedical engineering. It offers a comprehensive view of cutting-edge research on ceramic materials and technologies.
Divided into 3 parts concerning design, composites and functionality, the topics discussed include:
* Chemical strategies of epitaxial oxide ceramics nanomaterials
* Biphasic, triphasic and multiphasic calcium orthophosphates
* Microwave assisted processing of advanced ceramic composites
* Continuous fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites
* Yytria and magnesia doped alumina ceramic
* Oxidation induced crack healing
* SWCNTs vs MWCNTs reinforcement agents
* Organic and inorganic wastes in clay brick production
* Functional tantalum oxides
* Application of silver tin research on hydroxyapatite

He has more than 100 peer-reviewed primary research publications in the field of materials science and nanotechnology and has edited/authored more than 35 books on advanced materials and technology. He is the founder member and chair of American, Asian, European and Advanced Materials World Congress, Smart Materials and Surfaces, Global & European Graphene Forum, International Conference on Smart Energy Technologies, International Conference on Material Science and Technology and World Technology Forum.
Rosario A. Gerhardt is currently Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she has taught introductory materials science to over 2000 undergraduates over the years. She was named Goizueta Foundation Faculty Chair in 2015 in recognition of her teaching, research and service contributions. She was also the recipient of an IAAM Medal in 2015. Her research group has characterized the properties and microstructure of many materials including porous silica, bulk ferroelectrics and thin film heterostructures, as well as numerous ceramic matrix and polymer matrix composites as a function of size, shape and distribution of the fillers
Magdalena Szutkowska isaProfessor at the Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Technology and head of the Materials Testing Laboratory, Cracow, Poland. She also served for six years as the Head of the Department of Engineering and Materials Technology at the Pedagogical University of Cracow. She is currently involved in the manufacturing and testing of new composite ceramics based on alumina, hard metals and superhard materials in order to improve the fracture toughness of ceramics designed for cutting tools.
She is the author and co-author of more than 120 papers, three monographs, a few chapters in books and the co-author of 5 patents. She has been awarded the Golden Cross of Merit by the President of the Polish Republic and honoured with the prestigious "IAAM Scientist Award".
