Description
Description
Aluminium Oxide: Synthesis, Processing, and Applications offers a comprehensive and up-to-date resource on alumina, a vital ceramic material widely used across industries. Addressing the fragmented literature, this reference integrates fundamental science with advanced synthesis techniques, including sol-gel, hydrothermal, combustion, and additive manufacturing. It highlights nanostructuring and property tailoring to meet diverse application needs. The book is structured into four sections covering alumina fundamentals and synthesis, detailed physicochemical and mechanical properties, broad industrial and biomedical applications, and future perspectives focusing on sustainability, recycling, and circular economy principles. Each section includes contributions from global experts, enriched with case studies and practical insights.
Aluminium Oxide: Synthesis, Processing, and Applications delivers a unified, scientifically rigorous, and application-oriented reference to support material selection, design, and innovation for advanced ceramics in catalysis, coatings, energy storage, bioceramics, aerospace, and additive manufacturing.
