FACT SHEETS Phase Diagrams for Electronic Ceramics I: Dielectric Ti, Nb, and Ta Oxide Systems Robert S. Roth, editor ©2003 • Hardcover • 665 pages • ISBN 1-57498-172-2• Order code: PHECI • List price: $185 • The American Ceramic Society Member price: $148 This topical volume focuses on systems of interest in the field of dielectric ceramics containing TiO2, Nb2O5, and Ta2O5. Such systems are important in the manufacture of ceramic components for applications including capacitors, transducers, actuators, resonators, and filters. The volume contains 857 figure numbers and approximately 1100 diagrams. Included are selected diagrams from previously published volumes in the Phase Equilibria Diagrams series as well as many new diagrams featuring one or more of the title components. The volume also contains an appendix with more than 400 other pertinent phase equilibria literature references. Introduction to Drying of Ceramics With Laboratory Exercises Denis A. Brosnan and Gilbert C. Robinson ©2003 • Hardcover • 253 pages • ISBN 1-57498-046-7 • Order code: G036 • List price: $99 • The American Ceramic Society Member price: $79 This important book will be indispensible to anyone involved in the drying of ceramic materials. In order to accommodate readers with a wide range of interests and abilities, most chapters are divided into sections by basic and advanced concepts. The book contains laboratory exercises and problems at the end of each chapter (with answers to selected problems in the appendix). Morphotropic Phase Boundary Perovskites, High Strain Piezoelectrics, and Dielectrics Ceramics Ceramic Transactions, Volume 136 Ruyan Guo, K. M. Nair, Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Amar Bhalla, Dwight Viehland, D. Suvorov, Carl Wu, and S-I. Hirano, editors ©2003 • Hardcover • 584 pages • ISBN 1-57498-151-X • Order code: CT136 • List price: $129 • The American Ceramic Society Member price: $103 This volume features information on recent scientific and technological developments in multilayer electronics, high strain piezoelectrics and structure-property relations connected with the morphotropic phase boundary, particularly perovskite ferroelectric materials. Advances in Joining of Ceramics Ceramic Transactions, Volume 138 Charles A. Lewinsohn, Mrityunjay Singh, and Ronald Loehman, editors ©2003 • Hardcover • 294 pages • ISBN 1-57498-153-6 • Order code: CT138 • List price: $109 • The American Ceramic Society Member price: $87 Joining remains an enabling technology in several key areas related to the use of ceramics. Development of ceramic materials for electronic, biomedical, power generation, and many other fields continues at a rapid pace. Joining of ceramics is a critical issue in the integration of ceramic components in engineering design. This book includes reviews on the state-of-the-art in ceramic joining, new joining materials and methods, and modeling of joint behavior and properties. Advances in Ceramic Matrix Composites VIII Ceramic Transactions, Volume 139 J.P. Singh, Narottam P. Bansal, and M. Singh, editors ©2002 • Hardcover • 162 pages • ISBN 1-57498-154-4• Order code: CT139 • List price: $109 • The American Ceramic Society Member price: $87 Ceramic composites are leading candidate materials for high-temperature structural applications. This new book updates readers on the latest in state-of-the-art ceramic composite processing and fabrication methods, process modeling, processing-microstructure-property relationships, mechanical behavior and characterization. Many of the most important aspects necessary for the understanding and further development of ceramic composites is covered in this volume. It will be of great interest to the technical community involved in advanced ceramic composite processing, characterization, component development and manufacturing. Processing of High-Temperature Superconductors Ceramic Transactions, Volume 140 Amit Goyal, Winnie Wong-Ng, Masato Murakami, and Judith Driscoll, editors ©2003 • Hardcover • 388 pages • ISBN 1-57498-155-2 • Order code: CT140 • List price: $129 • The American Ceramic Society Member price: $103 Scientists and engineers working in the areas of high-temperature superconductor synthesis, fabrication, and product development, will find the latest information available in this new book. Information on biaxial and triaxial crystallographic texturing, epitaxial growth on biaxially textured substrates, melt-processing of YBCO, and basic information about HTS materials concerning phase diagrams, measurement of physical properties, characterization, and effects of various defects including grain boundaries on supercurrent transmission are included in this volume. Silicon Based Structural Ceramics for the New Millennium Ceramic Transactions, Volume 142 Manuel E. Brito, Hua-Tay Lin, and Kevin Plucknett, editors ©2003 • Hardcover • 277 pages • ISBN 1-57498-157-9• Order code: CT142 • List price: $109 • The American Ceramic Society Member price: $87 This book focuses on recent scientific and technological developments in silicon-based (i.e., silicon nitride, SiAlONs, silicon carbide, silicon oxynitride) structural ceramics. Authors from academia and industry assess the current state of the art in silicon-based structual ceramics. Industrial case studies are advocated to highlight the development and application of these materials in real engineering environments. Environmental Issues and Waste Management Technologies in the Ceramic & Nuclear Industries VIII Ceramic Transactions, Volume 143 S.K. Sundaram, Dane R. Spearing, and John D. Vienna, editors ©2003 • Hardcover • 498 pages • ISBN 1-57498-159-5 • Order code: CT143 • List price: $129 • The American Ceramic Society Member price: $103 Papers in this volume illustrate the delicate balance that exists among the environment, the processes/technologies that have been used in glass and ceramic industries, as well as the wastes — both nuclear and non-nuclear (hazardous) that have been generated.
