Ceramic-matrix composites are strong, tough, environmentally stable, light in weight, and have the ability to withstand high operating temperatures. These characteristics make them viable candidate materials for high temperature structural applications. Twenty three are included in this volume describing the latest developments in the areas of ceramic fibers, processing and fabrication, oxide and non-oxide composites, carbon-carbon composites, geopolymer composites, mechanical behavior, corrosion and environmental effects, characterization, fiber-matrix interface, design of composites, and...

This volume will provide interdisciplinary treatment, with a strong materials community, for technical exchange on optoelecronic materials, device application, and system development.

Proceedings of the symposium at the 103rd Annual Meeting of The American Ceramic Society, held April 22-25, 2001 in Indianapolis, Indiana; Ceramic Transactions, Volume 126.

Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) has served as a unifying theme for interdisciplinary research for more than a decade. The biannual International Symposium on Functionally Graded Materials has provided a forum for research on materials with spatial variation in microstructures or chemistries and have brought together a small, but richly interactive, community of FGM researchers from university, industry, and government labs all around the world.

This new volume brings to readers current advancements and information on the topic of Functionally Graded Materials. More than 150 researchers...
