Ceramic Processing and Sintering

This revised and expanded reference collects hard-to-find applications, equations, derivations, and examples illustrating the latest developments in ceramic processing technology. Ceramic Processing and Sintering, Second Editionprovides clear and intensive discussions on colloidal and sol-gel processing, sintering of ceramics, and kinetic processes in materials. From powder synthesis and consolidation to sintering and densification behavior, this latest edition emphasizes the impact of each processing procedure on the properties of the ceramic product, and contains new and extended discussions on topics including colloid stability, polymer growth, and gelation additives in ceramic forming.
