Porosity of Ceramics - Properties and Applications (Hardcover)

Focusing on the effects of porosity and microcracking on the physical properties of ceramics, particularly nominally single phase ceramics, this comprehensive reference/text elucidates the fundamental interrelationships determining the development and use of materials for actual and potential engineering needs. Aids in the understanding of porosity effects on other materials from ceramic composites, cements, and plasters to rocks, metals, and polymers Providing the reader with helpful chapter summaries and recommendations, Porosity of Ceramics details the porosity dependence of mechanical properties, as well as thermal and electrical conductivity, surface area, and permeability of pore systems reviews new and promising applications and processing technologies as well as the engineering trade-offs involved in producing improved porosities assesses the applicability and limits of models and actual experimental data using pore and microcrack occurrence, characterization, and idealization as bases emphasizes the need for better characterization by addressing generally overlooked topics, such as pore orientation, shape and size heterogeneity, and spatial distribution and much more Complemented with bibliographic citations and over 275 tables, equations, drawings, and photographs, Porosity of Ceramics is an invaluable reference for materials, ceramic, mechanical, and chemical engineers and scientists; and metallurgists; as well as a readily accessible text for graduate-level and continuing education students in these disciplines.
