Advanced Ceramic Materials and Processes

  • Chapter

Abstract

Ceramics have been the focus of increased interest in recent years. This interest is reflected in part by governmental programs to stimulate advanced development and uses of ceramics, e.g. in the U.S., Japan, and Germany. This interest is also shown in the wide press coverage, including terms such as “ceramis fever” and “the new ceramic age”. More concrete are the interests and commitment shown by a number of large, especially chemically based, corporations, in ceramics not only in the U.S. and Japan, but also several other countries, such as England, France, Germany and Sweden. This conference and the resultant procedings are another manifestation of this interest.
