Ceramic Materials: Science and Engineering C. Barry Carter and M. Grant Norton is an English-language textbook that delves in depth into ceramic materials and their applications in science and engineering. This reference work is intended for professionals and students who want to deepen their understanding of materials science related to ceramics.
The content covers fundamentals such as crystal structures, phase equilibria, defects, and the mechanical properties of ceramic materials. In addition, processing techniques and the role of ceramics in various applications are discussed. Attention is also given to ion transport, interactions with light and magnetic fields, and the thermal response of ceramic materials.
Extensive chapters on industrial applications, environmental impacts, and clean energy technologies have been added. The book also includes additional practice problems and instructional materials. This provides an up-to-date and comprehensive view of the science and engineering of ceramic materials, supported by numerous color illustrations.
The richly illustrated text connects to fields such as materials science, ceramic and glass technology, and ceramics technology and engineering.
