De la contraportada

The ultimate resource on the state-of-the-art science involved in integration at multiple lengths scales, from the very large to the very small

The collective knowledge presented in the twenty-four chapters of this volume captures the diversity and unity of joining and integration methodologies across disciplines and length scales, focusing mainly on the integration of ceramics and ceramic-based materials in various sectors of technology. This book addresses joining and integration issues at the macro-, micro- and nano-scales in diverse areas such as aerospace, nuclear, thermoelectric power, micro-electro-mechanical systems, solid oxide fuel cells, multi-chip modules, and prosthetic devices to promote integration as a key enabler of advanced technology. The key features in Ceramic Integration and Joining Technologies include:

• Chapter contributions from acknowledged experts representing industry, government, and academia

• Coverage of state-of-the-art science and engineering design data, facts, cases, and industrial and research insights, balancing engineering and scientific information to cater to the needs of the practitioner and researcher alike

• Exploration of the most critical issues involved in integration at multiple lengths scales, from the very large to the very small

As more educational and research institutions begin to incorporate knowledge about integration into their professional studies, the in-depth, cutting-edge treatment of selected areas discussed in this book will prove to be invaluable for students and practitioners interested in enhancing their studies in this cutting-edge field.
