Surfaces, Interfaces and Science of Ceramic Joining

This proceedings offers information for those interested in the fundamental aspects of ceramic surface and interfacial phenomenon such as wetting, adhesion, chemical reactivity, and structure-property relationships, and the influence of these factors on the nature of bonding/joining of ceramic materials.

Theory, Modeling and Simulation of Surface and Interface Interactions. Chemical Reactivity of Surfaces. Surface Phenomena of Wetting and Segregation. Characterization of the Structure and Properties of Ceramic Surfaces and Interfaces. Methods of Joining/Bonding (ceramic-to-ceramic, ceramic-to-metal, ceramic-to-composite, and ceramic-to-polymer). Interfacial Mechanics (adhesion, strength and fracture).
