Proceedings of better ceramics through chemistry V

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6917648

The application of chemical principles and practices to ceramic processing has mushroomed during the past decade, and the Materials Research Society's Better Ceramic Through Chemistry symposia have chronicled this growth biennially. The papers in the current volume were presented at the symposium Better Ceramics Through Chemistry V of the Materials Research Society Spring Meeting on April 27-May 1, 1992. Financial support was provided by Air Products and Chemicals Inc., Gelest Inc., the Office of Naval Research, and Radiant Technology Inc. As in the previous Better Ceramics Through Chemistry symposia, published as MRS Symposium Volumes 32, 73, 121, and 180, the present volume has as its focus sol-gel processing of oxide ceramics. In addition, however, considerable space is devoted to recent advances in related systems such as metal nitrides, carbides, and borides, polymer precursors, and cement composite materials, as well as other synthesis techniques such as chemical vapor deposition, aerosol routes and electrochemical processing. The volume is designed to provide both a retrospective and a preliminary view of exciting new results of mutual interest to ceramists and chemists.
