Developing expertise led to precursor studies combined with the  characterisation of the transformation processes that occur when IOPs  are converted to ceramic materials. Now at maturity, the science  presented in this volume reveals the polymer precursor approach to  materials synthesis together with examples of processing ceramic  shapes for a range of mechanical properties, the development of  sophisticated, noninvasive analytical techniques, and IOP design  rationales relying on well-defined processing-property  relationships. The production of multifunctional IOPs is described,  providing ion conductivity, gas sensing, bioactivity, magnetic  properties, etc., combined with processability. \u003cbr\u003e  The existence of well-defined IOPs and the exquisite control that can  be exerted on sol-gel systems now provide access to such a  variety of mixed organic-organometallic and\/or inorganic hybrid  systems that their exploitation is likely to develop into an entirely  new field of materials chemistry. Future exciting avenues of research  are also being opened up with the advent of buckyballs, Met-Cars,  dopable preceramics, rigid-rod organometallics, and molecular  tinkertoys.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792336778\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0337-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 355\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311733624972,"sku":"9780792336778","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792336778.jpg?v=1771511715","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792336778","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
