Ceramics have been essential in the domestic sphere and their production has undergone in the preindustrial era technological and cultural changes whose importance is obvious. This paper is to show in a very concise way how the production of European glazed ceramics underwent three phases of intense transformation of useful knowledge related to its production, with a successive accumulation leading to increasingly efficient results and a higher level of productivity. Moreover, it can be safely stated that, without this accumulation, the great progress of the 19th century in this area would have been impossible.

Advanced Flexible Ceramics: Design, Properties, Manufacturing, and Emerging Applications provides detailed information on the properties and applications of advanced flexible ceramics. Sections cover materials dependent flexible behavior, microstructure and phases, the operational life of ceramics, how flexible materials can influence smart behavior (shape memory and self-healing), and thermal, physical, mechanical, electrical and optical properties. Various processing routes such as powder metallurgy, both physical and chemical vapor deposition, sol-gel, 3D print, and roll-to-roll processing are also explained in detail. The later section of the book provides detailed coverage of emerging technological applications. Additional chapters cover cost-effectiveness and the global market and recycling and future challenges and perspectives. This will be an essential reference resource for academic and industrial researchers working in the fields of refractory linings, high-temperature equipment, shielding, and MEMS/NEMS.

Surface Modification and Functionalization of Ceramic Composites is intended for both experts and beginners, allowing them to have an extended overview of recent progress in the evolution of surface modification methods and functionalization for ceramic composites. The book provides a detailed summary of the various techniques that are currently available, along with an evaluation of the costs involved. Information on the relationship between surface properties and function is also discussed. There is also an additional section on commercial and industrial applications, including biomedical, sensing and energy. The book will be a valuable reference resource for researchers and an instructive and stimulating text for postgraduate students who want to enhance their knowledge on novel materials and surface modification and functionalization of ceramic composites. Extensively covers surface modification and functionalization of ceramic composites A detailed review of the various techniques currently available and an evaluation of costs Covers recent advances and a broad range of different industrial applications.

This book covers the discovery and the results of the analytical study of the composition of the Farnley Hall service, involving both the embossed moulding and the decorative compositions. The discovery of this missing porcelain service, which was manufactured 200 years ago, is a modern detective story in the preservation of cultural heritage, whilst its physical analysis has identified some new data that need to be incorporated into correcting and expanding the literature that is used for the differentiation of porcelains by ceramic historians and museum conservators. The importance of the Farnley Hall service discovery is that it provides the only example of such a Nantgarw Porcelain service that still resides in its original place of usage from 200 years ago: it is therefore a unique example and is a very important part of our national cultural heritage. It provides an illustration of the data that can be accessed from the application of inductive reasoning to elicit novel information about a manufactory whose work books no longer exist and its comparison with contemporary manufactories in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The concepts can be appreciated by experts and also by non-technical readers. This is the first time that such a detailed research approach has been adopted for any comparative ceramic project. The book is therefore relevant for a specialist and non-specialist readership, including museum ceramics curators and collectors of the genre.

The book focuses on joining of advanced materials such as ceramics, intermetallics, laminated materials, composite materials and functional materials considering both in theory and in practice. It also covers details of joint design, weldability and quality assurance of the product. Both principles and engineering practice have been addressed to show advanced, scientific and novelty features. The latest research on advanced joining technology is one of the major features of the book, which is particularly suited for readers who are interested to learn practical solutions in joining of advanced materials. The book can benefit researchers, engineers and graduate students in the fields of joining, materials design and manufacturing, etc. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
