76th Conference on Glass Problems, Version A: A Collection of Papers Presented at the 76th Conference on Glass Problems, Greater Columbus Convention Center, Columbus, Ohio, November 2-5, 2015, Volume 37, Issue 1 / Edition 1

by S. K. Sundaram

Overview

The Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceeding has been published by The American Ceramic Society since 1980. This series contains a collection of papers dealing with issues in both traditional ceramics (i.e., glass, whitewares, refractories, and porcelain enamel) and advanced ceramics. Topics covered in the area of advanced ceramic include bioceramics, nanomaterials, composites, solid oxide fuel cells, mechanical properties and structural design, advanced ceramic coatings, ceramic armor, porous ceramics, and more.
