Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are at the forefront of
advanced materials technology because of their light weight, high
strength and toughness, high temperature capabilities, and graceful
failure under loading. During the last 25 years, tremendous
progress has been made in the development and advancement of CMCs
under various research programs funded by the U.S. Government
agencies: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA),
Department of Defense (DoD), and Department of Energy (DOE).
Ceramic composites are considered as enabling technology for
advanced aeropropulsion, space propulsion, space power, aerospace
vehicles, and space structures. CMCs would also find applications
in advanced aerojet engines, stationary gas turbines for electrical
power generation, heat exchangers, hot gas filters, radiant
burners, heat treatment and materials growth furnaces, nuclear
fusion reactors, automobiles, biological implants, etc. Other
applications of CMCs are as machinery wear parts, cutting and
forming tools, valve seals, high precision ball bearings for
corrosive environments, and plungers for chemical pumps. Potential
applications of various ceramic composites are described in
individual chapters of the present handbook.
Handbook of Ceramic Composites is different from the other books
available on this topic. Here, a ceramic composite system or a
class of composites has been covered in a separate chapter,
presenting a detailed description of processing, properties, and
applications. Each chapter is written by internationally renowned
researchers in the field. The handbook is organized into five
sections: Ceramic Fibers, Non-oxide/Non-oxide Composites,
Non-oxide/Oxide Composites, Oxide/Oxide Composites, and Glass and
Glass-Ceramic Composites.
This handbook should be a valuable source of information for
scientists, engineers, and technicians working in the field of
CMCs, and also for designers to design parts and components for
advanced engines, and various other industrial applications.
