Sintering Of Ceramics Prominent Processes And Methods [Hardcover]

The process of sintering involves forming solid mass of material by applying heat/pressure without reaching the point of liquefaction. This book covers latest techniques and methods introduced in the field of sintering with special focus on the applications of sintering for formation of ceramics. It is a compilation of the research works conducted by reputed experts in this field. Major topics related to sintering of ceramics have been covered such as new sintering techniques, bio-ceramics, glass ceramics/composites, and impregnation of doping materials. Some upgraded sintering techniques like radiation thermal sintering for making thin film solid oxide cells have also been explained.
