Fine ceramics or new ceramics are becoming more and more important to a growing number of industries. In electronic, electrical and mechanical engineering, as well as in the medical field, fine ceramics have an increasing number of applications. This book is timely in presenting a complete explanation of 'functional ceramics', from basic concepts to details of the latest research. Topics covered include the structure and properties of various types of fine ceramic material, for example, ceramic nitrides, ceramic carbides and alumina. Using a "question and answer" format throughout the book, the authors concentrate on giving practical examples of fine ceramics applications, which will help engineers and materials researchers develop a deeper understanding of the subject.
