This volume is part of the Ceramic Engineering and Science
Proceeding (CESP) series. This series contains a
collection of papers dealing with issues in both traditional
ceramics (i.e., glass, whitewares, refractories, and porcelain
enamel) and advanced ceramics. Topics covered in the area of
advanced ceramic include bioceramics, nanomaterials, composites,
solid oxide fuel cells, mechanical properties and structural
design, advanced ceramic coatings, ceramic armor, porous ceramics,
and more.
