Ceramics promise to be one of the leading materials in the 21st century; with their enormous potential to play essential roles in the important and expanding fields of nano-science and technology, information technology, ecological science and engineering, energy-related engineering and life sciences.
The present book comprises peer-reviewed scientific papers presented to The 2nd International Symposium on Advanced Ceramics held in Shanghai, China.
A major motivation of this symposium was to bring together researchers in the various branches of the ceramic community in order to seek out common approaches to the study of ceramics science and engineering. The goal was then to develop the most effective blend of expertise, in experimental, theoretical and computational activities as applied to various ceramic systems, in order to maximize the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge.
