Developments in Strategic Materials, Volume 29, Issue 10 [PDF ebook] 

This volume provides a one-stop resource, compiling current research on developments in strategic materials. It is a collection of papers from The American Ceramic Society s 32nd International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites, January 27-February 1, 2008. Papers included in this issue come from five symposia: ‘Thermoelectric Materials for Power Conversion;’ ‘Basic Science of Multifunctional Ceramics;’ ‘Science of Ceramic Interfaces;’ ‘Geopolymers;’ and ‘Materials for Solid State Lighting.’ This is a valuable, up-to-date resource for researchers working in the field.
