This volume contains six important articles in materials science and materials engineering, based upon inaugural lectures given by professors at Imperial College, London. Each author deals with an area of work in which he has been involved over a period of years, and gives a personal account, partly historical, of the main features and importance of his subject. The topics covered include: the strength and deformation of metals, the brittle behaviour of ceramics, electrical materials, biomaterials, friction and lubrication, and modern engineering adhesives. Contents: Slippery Customers, Sticky Problems (B J Briscoe); Sticking Up for Adhesives (A J Kinloch); Magical Materials for Motionless Machines (D B Holt); Interfaces in Materials OCo If You Can''t Beat them, Join Them (A Atkinson); Brittleness OCo A Tough Problem (R D Rawlings); The Story of Bioglass: From Concept to Clinic (L L Hench). Readership: Scientists and engineers with a general interest in materials science and materials engineering."

This book discusses the synthesis, performance and applications of ceramic materials. Chapter One presents the recycling of biomass ashes in the obtaining of clay bricks for possible use as construction material. Chapter Two summarizes the use of nanostructured ceramics for the control of heat flows. Chapter Three deals with analytical modelling of thermal stresses in a multi-particle-matrix system with isotropic cylindrical particles which are periodically distributed in an isotropic infinite matrix. Chapter Four deals with analytical modelling of thermal stresses which originate during a cooling process of an elastic solid continuum. Chapter Five provides recent information on the use of zirconia in dentistry, its characteristics and indications, with a particular emphasis on surface conditioning methods to promote adhesion of resin-based materials to zirconia.
