Discover how ceramic materials are used to support the latest energy applications
Dedicated to the innovative design and use of ceramic materials for energy applications, this issue brings readers up to date with some of the most important research discoveries and new and emerging applications in the field. Contributions come from the proceedings of three symposia as well as the European Union-USA Engineering Ceramics Summit. The three symposia are:
- Ceramics for Electric Energy Generation, Storage, and Distribution
- Advanced Ceramics and Composites for Nuclear and Fusion Applications
- Advanced Materials and Technologies for Rechargeable Batteries
The symposia and summit took place in January 2012 during the 36th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC) in Daytona Beach, Florida. These symposia and the European Union-USA Engineering Ceramics Summit were all sponsored by The American Ceramic Society's Engineering Ceramics Division. The symposium on Advanced Ceramics and Composites for Nuclear and Fusion Applications was cosponsored by The American Ceramic Society's Nuclear & Environmental Technology Division.
Readers will find plenty of charts, tables, and illustrations throughout this issue to help them better understand core concepts and applications. Moreover, all the papers are extensively referenced.
This issue represents one of nine CESP issues published from the 36th ICACC meeting. ICACC is the world's most prominent international meeting dedicated to advanced structural, functional, and nanoscopic ceramics, composites, and other emerging ceramic materials and technologies. ICACC has been organized each year by The American Ceramic Society and The American Ceramic Society's Engineering Ceramics Division since 1977.
