Due to its many potential benefits, including high electrical efficiency and low environmental emissions, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology is the subject of extensive research and development efforts by national laboratories, universities, and private industries. In these proceedings, international scientists and engineers present recent technical progress on materials-related aspects of fuel cells including SOFC component materials, materials processing, and cell/stack design, performance, and stability. Emerging trends in electrochemical materials, electrodics, interface engineering, long-term chemical interactions, and more are included. This book is compiled of papers presented at the Proceedings of the 30th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites, January 22-27, 2006, Cocoa Beach, Florida. Organized and sponsored by The American Ceramic Society and The American Ceramic Society's Engineering Ceramics Division in conjunction with the Nuclear and Environmental Technology Division.

This book provides a state-of-the-art collection of recent papers presented at the 6th Pacific Rim Conference on Ceramic and Glass Technology in September 2005. Topics include combustion synthesis, reaction forming, polymer processing, solid freeform fabrication, chemical vapor deposition, electrochemical and solution depositions, plasma synthesis and floc-casting for fabrication of nanopowders, nanorods, electronic ceramics, composites, thin films, and coatings.

This volume provides a one-stop resource, compiling current research on solid oxide fuel cells. It is a collection of papers from The American Ceramic Society s 32nd International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites, January 27-February 1, 2008. Topics include recent technical progress on materials-related aspects of fuel cells and emerging trends in electrochemical materials, cell/stack fabrication and design, interface engineering, and long-term chemical interactions. This is a valuable, up-to-date resource for researchers in industry, government, or academia who are working with solid oxide fuel cells.

This volume contains twenty four papers with contributions on various aspects of solid oxide fuel cells that were discussed at the symposium. You will gain insight into the current status of solid oxide fuel cells technology and the latest developments in the areas of fabrication, characterization, testing, performance, electrodes, electrolytes, seals, cell and stack development, proton conductors, fuel reforming, mechanical behavior, powder synthesis, etc.

The latest developments in ceramic, glass, and composites processing and characterization are covered in this volume. Included are papers from industry, academia, and research laboratories on the advances in basic science and technology and how these can be used to address technological issues faced by the industry.

Ceramic-matrix composites are strong, tough, environmentally stable, light in weight, and have the ability to withstand high operating temperatures. These characteristics make them viable candidate materials for high temperature structural applications. Twenty three are included in this volume describing the latest developments in the areas of ceramic fibers, processing and fabrication, oxide and non-oxide composites, carbon-carbon composites, geopolymer composites, mechanical behavior, corrosion and environmental effects, characterization, fiber-matrix interface, design of composites, and thermal/environmental barrier coatings. Proceedings of the symposium held at the 105th Annual Meeting of The American Ceramic Society, April 27-30, in Nashville, Tennessee; Ceramic Transactions, Volume 153.
