Product Description

Electroceramics, Materials, Properties, Applications, Second Edition provides a comprehensive treatment of the many aspects of ceramics and their electrical applications. The fundamentals of how electroceramics function are carefully introduced with their properties and applications also considered. Starting from elementary principles, the physical, chemical and mathematical background of the subject are discussed and wherever appropriate, a strong emphasis is placed on the relationship between microstructire and properties. The Second Edition has been fully revised and updated, building on the foundation of the earlier book to provide a concise text for all those working in the growing field of electroceramics.

fully revised and updated to include the latest technological changes and developments in the field
includes end of chapter problems and an extensive bibliography
an Invaluable text for all Materials Science students.
a useful reference for physicists, chemists and engineers involved in the area of electroceramics.

Book Info

Text provides an overview of the most commercially important advanced ceramics. Beginning with elementary principles, establishes the physical, chemical, and mathematical basis of the subject. Describes important approaches to the processing of ceramics, and emphasizes the relationship between microstructure and properties. For graduate students. Softcover, hardcover available.

First Sentence
The word ceramic is derived from keramos, the Greek work for potter's clay or ware made from clay and fired, and can simply be interpreted as 'pottery'. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent undergraduate-level textbook in electroceramics, Feb 15 1999

By "akdogan" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Electroceramics: Materials, Properties, Applications (Paperback)

The electroceramics community, in general, has been suffering from a lack of good textbooks which cover all major fields of interest of the subject in a clear and comprehensive manner. The book by Moulson and Herbert is an outstanding exception to that. It can conveniently be used as a senior undergraduate or a first year graduate text. The first 2 chapters of the book summarize the prerequisite background needed in the solid state sciences and ceramic/materials processing, respectively. In the following chapters, a wide range of materials such as conductors, linear dielectrics, piezoelectrics, magnetic materials etc. are presented. The text is easy to read. The underlying physical principles of each subject are well blended with the materials related phenomena, thus providing the the reader with the "broader picture" in a concise fashion. The book contains well-chosen self study problems at the end of each chapter which address practical engineering problems as well as fundamental principles. It is my hope that more books like this will come along soon so that the materials science and engineering students are as well served as their peers in other disciplines in the sciences and engineering. I highly recommend this book for those who are seeking a good textbook and/or for those who would like to self-study the subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars Electroceramics:Materials, Properties and Applications, July 31 2008

By R. J. N. Quintero "RN" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Electroceramics: Materials, Properties, Applications (Paperback)

Good book. It has been reviewed by many important scientists and engineers of the field.
It have a nice introduction to dielectrics and semiconductors from a solid state physics point of view with may help the engineers and students to find practic use of the solid state theory.
This book takes the reader into a:
1)Fundamental undestanding of ceramics for electronic applications
2)Complete review of processing, applications and properties of dielectric and semiconductor materials. A gentle introduction of field's terms
3)Serve as an introductory guide for post graduate students
