Book Description
The intention of this symposium was to provide a forum for scientists and engineers from a diversity of backgrounds to discuss sol-gel, solution processing and other synthetic chemical techniques for engineering new or improved ceramics on a molecular level. Research into the area of reaction mechanisms and reaction kinetics of silicon species remained strong, while significant advances in the area of structure and properties of modified and unmodified metal alkoxide species were reported. The complementary area of processing in water based systems also received considerable attention with emphasis being placed on the hydrolysis behavior of ions in solution. The nature of particle/aggregate growth was also a major topic of discussion with papers being presented on the role of aggregation in particle growth and the nature and rheology of concentrated suspensions. Important developments in the area of mechanical properties of aerogels, fibers and films were presented as well as research into techniques for in situ monitoring of films during dip coating. Continued advances in the application of solution derived ceramics were also reported. These included GRIN lenses, planar waveguides, optical filters and optical switching, transpiration cooled windows, dye-polymer composites for nonlinear applications, dielectrics and electrooptics materials including PLZT's and the niobates, and chemical sensors, among others. Finally, one of the meeting highlights was a special evening session biomimetics: ceramic processing in natural systems.

Sol-Gel Technologies for Glass Producers and Users
Author: Michel Andre AegerterPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387889531
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
Sol-Gel Techniques for Glass Producers and Users provides technological information, descriptions and characterizations of prototypes, or products already on the market, and illustrates advantages and disadvantages of the sol-gel process in comparison to other methods. The first chapter entitled "Wet Chemical Technology" gives a summary of the basic principles of the sol-gel chemistry. The most promising applications are related to coatings. Chapter 2 describes the various "Wet Chemical Coating Technologies" from glass cleaning to many deposition and post-coating treatment techniques. These include patterning of coatings through direct or indirect techniques which have became very important and for which the sol-gel processing is particularly well adapted. Chapter 3 entitled "Bulk Glass Technologies" reports on the preparation of special glasses for different applications. Chapter 4 entitled "Coatings and Materials Properties" describes the properties of the different coatings and the sol-gel materials, fibers and powders. The chapter also includes a section dedicated to the characterization techniques especially applied to sol-gel coatings and products.
Metallurgical and Ceramic Protective Coatings

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Surface engineering is an increasingly important field and consequently those involved need to be aware of the vast range of technologies available to modify surfaces. This text provides an up-to-date, authoritative exposition of the major condensed phase methods used for producing metallurgical and ceramic coatings. Each method is discussed thoroughly by an expert in that field. In each chapter the principle of the method, its range of applications and technical aspects involved are described. The book not only informs the reader about established technologies familiar only to specialists, but also details activity on the frontier of coating technology providing an insight into those potential technologies not yet fully developed but which should emerge in the near future.
