Advances in Multifunctional Materials and Systems [PDF ebook] 

The symposia Advances in Electroceramics and Microwave
Materials and Their Applications were held during the 8th
Pacific Rim Conference on Ceramic and Glass Technology (PACRIM 8)
from May 31-June 5, 2009 in Vancouver, Canada. This issue contains
17 peer-reviewed papers (invited and contributed) from these two
symposia. The book is logically organized and carefully selected
articles give insight into multifunctional materials and
systems and incorporates the latest developments related to
multifunctional materials and systems including electroceramics and
microwave materials.
