Over the past twenty-five years ceramics have become key materials in the development of many new technologies as scientists have been able to design these materials with new structures and properties. An understanding of the factors that influence their mechanical behavior and reliability is essential. This book will introduce the reader to current concepts in the field. It contains problems and exercises to help readers develop their skills. This is a comprehensive introduction to the mechanical properties of ceramics, and is designed primarily as a textbook for advanced undergraduates in...

This in-depth treatment of the instrumentation, physical bases and applications of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and static secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SSIMS) contains a specific focus on the subject of polymeric materials. XPS and SSIMS are widely accepted as the two most powerful techniques for polymer surface chemical analysis, particularly in the context of industrial research and problem solving. The author describes the techniques and applications of XPS and SSIMS. He also includes details of case studies, emphasizing the complementary and joint application of XPS and...
