Engineering ceramics book. Although piezoelectric ceramics are widely used for a large number of applica tions single crystal materials retain their utility being essential for applications chap04 2003 4 21. Due to the well designed conception and the highly didactic style the present book may be expected to become a standard text in teaching ceramic science and engineering for the next decade. Engineering ceramics such as silicon nitride silicon carbide and a large number of oxides are used in industries ranging from aerospace to automotive and biomedical to electronics. Being a physics student i m picky about electricity and magnetism and how the concepts are developed.

This book gives a brief introduction to the structure of ceramic materials and then follows a flow similar to that which a ceramic product experiences during its lifetime. Yet no book can be complete or final in that sense. Written in the same. Ceramic engineering is the science and technology of creating objects from inorganic non metallic materials.

This is done either by the action of heat or at lower temperatures using precipitation reactions from high purity chemical solutions. Bengisu s book clearly fills a gap in the current textbook literature on ceramic science and technology. The book is a comprehensive encyclopaedia of ceramics. Due to the well designed conception and the highly didactic style the present book may be expected to become a standard text in teaching ceramic science and engineering for the next decade.
