It highlights how their unique combination of superior properties such as low density, high strength, high elastic modulus, high hardness, high temperature capability, and excellent chemical and environmental stability are optimized in technologies within these fields. The handbook is organized according to application type. It allows readers to learn about strategies that have been used in different fields and to transfer them to their own. The book addresses a wide variety of ceramics and their composites, including PZT ceramics, carbon nanotubes, aerogels, silica radomes, relaxor ferroelectrics, and many others. .CeramicsGlassComposites (Materials)Composite materialsAerospace engineeringAstronauticsEnergy securityPolitics and warEngineering—MaterialsStructural materialsCeramics, Glass, Composites, Natural Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z18000Aerospace Technology and Astronauticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050Energy Securityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/121000Military and Defence Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912080Materials Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T28000Structural Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z11000Ceramics.Glass.Composites (Materials).Composite materials.Aerospace engineering.Astronautics.Energy security.Politics and war.Engineering—Materials.Structural materials.Ceramics, Glass, Composites, Natural Materials.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.Energy Security.Military and Defence Studies.Materials Engineering.Structural Materials.620.14Mahajan Yashwantedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtRoy Johnsonedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910349513903321Handbook of Advanced Ceramics and Composites1571094UNINA
