Forming operations are described from both a chemical and ceramic engineering perspective, with emphasis on design of structures with desired mass transfer and strength characteristics. Specific forming methods that are discussed include extrusion, bead forming and spray-drying. Newer forms will also be introduced. 

This volume, which is unique in its coverage, provides a general introduction to the properties and nature of transition metal carbides and nitrides, and covers their latest applications in a wide variety of fields. It is directed at both experts and nonexperts in the fields of materials science, solid-state chemistry, physics, ceramics engineering and catalysis. The first chapter provides an overview, with other chapters covering theory of bonding, structure and composition, catalytic properties, physical properties, new methods of preparation, and spectroscopy and microscopy. 

In 1925 493 university graduates were already employed in the ceramic industry. By then the American Ceramic Society had been founded and it consisted of 7 departments art, enamel, glass, fireproof materials, whiteware, terra cotta and heavy clay. Unfortunately World War II caused a decrease in the number of students of ceramics. In order to postpone the conscription of ceramic engineers an attempt was made to have ceramic studies and ceramic engineering pronounced essential for the war, to no avail however. The fact that there was no good definition of ceramics was partly to blame for this failure.

The sol-gel process is a wet-chemical technique (chemical solution deposition) widely used recently in the fields of materials science and ceramic engineering. Such methods are used primarily for the fabrication of materials (typically a metal oxide) starting from a chemical solution which acts as the precursor for an integrated network (or gel) of either discrete particles or network polymers. Typical precursors are metal alkoxides and metal chlorides, which undergo various forms of hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions.
