About this title

Synopsis

After an introductory chapter, the processing, microstructure, and properties of various ceramic materials, reinforcements, and their composites are described. A separate chapter is devoted to processing of ceramic reinforcements, with a special emphasis on fibers. Processing of ceramic matrix composites is the next chapter, which includes novel techniques such as sol-gel processing and ceramics from polymeric precursors. The next four chapters cover the subjects of interface region in ceramic composites, mechanical and physical properties, and the role of thermal stresses and the important subject of toughness enhancement. Laminated composites made of ceramics are described in a separate chapter. Finally, a chapter is devoted to various applications of ceramic matrix composites. Throughout the text, the underlying relationships between the components of the triad: processing, microstructure, and properties are brought out. An exhaustive list of references and suggested reading is provided.

Review

`...a significant contribution to the understanding and progress of the science and engineering of composite materials...I would recommend this textbook.'
Materials Research Society Bulletin
`This excellent discussion on CMCs has been directed to the undergraduate...lucid coverage.'
SAMPE Journal
`The book will find great use to not only students in materials science, but also to materials researchers and practicing engineers.'
High Tech Ceramics News (January 1995)
`a very well-produced book...excellent for anyone working in the field of reinforced ceramics but could equally profitably be read by the student of polymer composites.'
Materials and Design
