Many believe that the silicon/information age is heading to the Age of Biology
and that the next frontier in ceramics will most likely require molecular level
or nanoscale control. What, then, is the role of ceramics in the age of biology?
As we change from an energy-rich society to an energy-declining society, how can
ceramic materials appease the problem? This new edition of Chemical Processing
of Ceramics offers a scientific and technological framework for achieving
creative solutions to these questions. Edited by experts and containing chapters
by leading researchers in the field, the book uses an interdisciplinary approach
to cover topics ranging from starting materials to device
