The current book consists of twenty-four chapters divided into three sections. Section I includes fourteen chapters in electric and magnetic ceramics which deal with modern specific research on dielectrics and their applications, on nanodielectrics, on piezoceramics, on glass ceramics with para-, anti- or ferro-electric active phases, of varistors ceramics and magnetic ceramics. Section II includes seven chapters in bioceramics which include review information and research results/data on biocompatibility, on medical applications of alumina, zirconia, silicon nitride, ZrO2, bioglass, apatite-wollastonite glass ceramic and b-tri-calcium phosphate. Section III includes three chapters in applications of ceramics in environmental improvement and protection, in water cleaning, in metal bearing wastes stabilization and in utilization of wastes from ceramic industry in concrete and concrete products.

We hope that this volume will serve as a useful reference for the professionals working in the field of materials science.

Joining remains an enabling technology in several key areas related to the use of ceramics. Development of ceramic materials for electronic, biomedical, power generation, and many other fields continues at a rapid pace. Joining of ceramics is a critical issue in the integration of ceramic components in engineering design. This book includes reviews on the state-of-the-art in ceramic joining, new joining materials and methods, and modeling joint behavior and properties.

The Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceeding has been published by The American Ceramic Society since 1980. This series contains a collection of papers dealing with issues in both traditional ceramics (i.e., glass, whitewares, refractories, and porcelain enamel) and advanced ceramics. Topics covered in the area of advanced ceramic include bioceramics, nanomaterials, composites, solid oxide fuel cells, mechanical properties and structural design, advanced ceramic coatings, ceramic armor, porous ceramics, and more.

This proceedings issue contains a collection of 11 papers presented during the 33rd International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites, January, 2009. Papers in this proceedings were presented from one of the three symposia listed below: Symposium 6 - Key Materials and Technologies for Efficient Direct Thermal-to-Electrical Conversion; Symposium 11 - Symposium on Advanced Dielectrics, Piezoelectric, Ferroelectric, and Multiferroic Materials; Focused Session 2 - Materials for Solid State Lighting.

Papers from The American Ceramic Society's 31st International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites, held in Daytona Beach, Florida, January 21-26, 2007.
