Recent Advances in Ceramic Nanocomposites

Recent Advances in Ceramic Nanocomposites: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications consolidates the scattered literature on the synthesis, processing, characterization and applications of ceramic nanocomposites into a single, up-to-date reference. It explains the enhanced physical and chemical properties that make these materials suitable for electronics, energy, biomedical, chemical and aerospace uses, and reflects the rapid progress of the past decade. Coverage spans preparation routes such as sol-gel techniques, injection moulding and dry pressing alongside newer methods, giving researchers a coherent account of how structure and processing govern performance across this fast-moving field.
Dedicated chapters examine optical, magnetic, mechanical, thermal and rheological behaviour and applications including supercapacitors, batteries, fuel and solar cells, hydrogen storage, gas sensing, water purification, tissue engineering, drug delivery and corrosion protection, with distinctive sections on 3D printing and molecular dynamics modelling. It is intended for researchers, industry professionals and postgraduate students in nanoscience and materials science.
