Paperback. Condition: very good(-). Reprinted with corrections. Quarto in orange and red glossy stiff paper wraps; xvii, 668 pages: illustrations; 25 cm. "Offers an introduction to ceramic science. This book introduces the structure and properties of ceramics with a focus on solid state physics and chemistry. It considers bonding in ceramics, their physical structures, and their properties. It deals with factors determined by microstructure and thermal, dielectric, magnetic, and optical properties."?Publisher. // Contents: INTRODUCTIONIntroduction Definition of Ceramics Elementary Crystallography Ceramic Microstructures Traditional Versus Advanced Ceramics General Characteristics of Ceramics ApplicationsThe FutureBONDING IN CERAMICS Introduction Structure of Atoms Ionic versus Covalent Bonding Ionic Bonding Ionically Bonded Solids Covalent Bond Formation Covalently Bonded Solids Band Theory of SolidsSummary Appendix 2A: Kinetic Energy of Free ElectronsSTRUCTURE OF CERAMICS IntroductionCeramic Structures Binary Ionic Compounds Composite Crystal Structures Structure of Covalent Ceramics Structure of SilicatesLattice Parameters and DensitySummary Appendix 3A: Ionic RadiiEFFECT OF CHEMICAL FORCES ON PHYSICAL PROPERTIESIntroduction Melting PointsThermal ExpansionYoung's Modulus and the Strength of Perfect Solids Surface Energy SummaryTHERMODYNAMIC AND KINETIC CONSIDERATIONS Introduction Free EnergyChemical Equilibrium and the Mass Action Expression Chemical Stability Domains Electrochemical Potentials Charged Interfaces, Double Layers, and Debye Lengths Gibbs-Duhem Relation for Binary Oxides Kinetic Considerations Summary Appendix 5A: Derivation of Eq.
