Materials & Equipment/Whitewares: Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceedings, Volume 19, Issue 2

This volume is part of the Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceeding  (CESP) series.  This series contains a collection of papers dealing with issues in both traditional ceramics (i.e., glass, whitewares, refractories, and porcelain enamel) and advanced ceramics. Topics covered in the area of advanced ceramic include bioceramics, nanomaterials, composites, solid oxide fuel cells, mechanical properties and structural design, advanced ceramic coatings, ceramic armor, porous ceramics, and more.Content: Chapter 1 CeramiTex™ Glass Fibers Can Improve Ceramic Manufacturing Yields (pages 1–8): Cameron G.
