Dedicated to the innovative design and use of ceramic materials
for energy applications, this issue brings readers up to date with
some of the most important research discoveries and new and
emerging applications in the field. Contributions come from the
proceedings of three symposia, as well as the European
Union-USA Engineering Ceramics Summit. The three symposia
are: Ceramics for Electric Energy Generation, Storage, and
Distribution; Advanced Ceramics and Composites for Nuclear and
Fusion Applications; and Advanced Materials and Technologies for
Rechargeable Batteries. An abundance of charts, tables, and
illustrations are included throughout.
