Advanced ceramics and composite materials are increasingly being utilized as components in batteries, fuel cells, sensors, high-temperature electronics, membranes, and high-end biomedical devices, in addition to their traditional use in seals, valves, implants, and high-temperature and wear components. In recent years, there has been substantial progress in the use of ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs), with new applications developing continually.
Advances in Ceramic-Matrix Composites, Third Edition, delivers an innovative approach focusing on the very latest advances, materials developments, and new applications.
These include new technologies that have emerged, such as additive manufacturing of ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs), the design of CMCs based on MAX-phase and ultrahigh-temperature ceramics (UHTCs), and the reinforcement of CMCs with graphene nanoplatelets. Similarly, new applications for CMCs have emerged for enhanced electromagnetic absorption and ionizing radiation shielding.
The specialized information contained in this book will be highly valuable for researchers and postgraduate students working in ceramic science, engineering, and ceramic composites technology and engineers and scientists in aerospace, energy, building and construction, biomedical, and automotive industries.
