This collection of papers describes the various innovative techniques
and approaches for synthesis and processing of novel ceramics, glass,
and composite materials and their fabrication in various forms, shapes,
and complex structures. Special emphasis is given to state-of-the-art
methods such as reaction bonding, microwave, CVD, CVI, electrophoresis,
sol-gel, plasma, combustion, and more.
