A detailed account of various applications and uses of transparent ceramics and the future of the industry
In
Transparent Ceramics: Materials, Engineering, and Applications
, readers will discover the necessary foundation for understanding transparent ceramics (TCs) and the technical and economic factors that determine the overall worth of TCs. This book provides readers with a thorough history of TCs, as well as a detailed account of the materials, engineering and applications of TC in its various forms; fabrication and characterization specifics are also described. With this book, researchers, engineers, and students find a definitive guide to past and present use cases, and a glimpse into the future of TC materials.
The book covers a variety of TC topics, including:
●      The methods employed for materials produced in a transparent state
●      Detailed applications of TCs for use in lasers, IR domes, armor-windows, and various medical prosthetics
●      A review of traditionally used transparent materials that highlights the benefits of TCs
●      Theoretical science and engineering theories presented in correlation with learned data
●      A look at past, present, and future use-cases of TCs
This insightful guide to ceramics that can be fabricated into bulk transparent parts will serve as a must-read for professionals in the industry, as well as students looking to gain a more thorough understanding of the field.
