Ceramic technology by Hommel, P

“…Although the use of unfired clay and even the production of non-utilitarian ceramic artefacts by Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers has long been accepted, their role in the emergence and spread of ceramic vessel technology has, until recently, received little scholarly attention. …”

THEORY OF DOPANT SEGREGATION IN CERAMIC OXIDES by Egdell, R, Mackrodt, W

Introduction: ceramics research in China and beyond by Hein, A, Flad, R, Womack, A

Keramik = Kultur? – Das Problem der Kulturdefinition in der euroamerikanischen und der chinesischen Archäologie by Hein, A

“…In modern-day China where prehistoric chronological frameworks are still contested in many places, the focus is on ceramic assemblages that are usually equated with archaeological cultures named after the site where the ceramic types in question were first discovered. …”

Glazes, Slips, and Paints by Matin, M

“…In the field of ceramics, the terms “glaze,” “slip,” and “paint” designate three different types of coating that are applied on the surface of unfired or once‐fired (biscuit‐fired) ceramic bodies for decorative or functional purposes. …”

In vitro biological test methods to evaluate bioresorbability by Mabilleau, G, Sabokbar, A

“…The degradation of a material will depend on the chemical structure of the material employed such as polymer, metal and/or ceramic. In this chapter the degradation mechanisms of biomaterials are dealt with, using in vitro methods to assess the characterization of their resorption. …”

In-vitro biological test methods to evaluate bio-resorbability by Mabilleau, G, Sabokbar, A

“…The degradation of a material will depend on the chemical structure of the material employed such as polymer, metal and/or ceramic. In this chapter the degradation mechanisms of biomaterials are dealt with, using in vitro methods to assess the characterization of their resorption, bioerosion and bioabsorption.…”

Soft Chemistry Synthesis of Oxides by Hayward, M

“…The synthesis of complex metal-oxide phases is typically performed at high temperature to overcome the considerable energetic barriers to solid-solid diffusion. However, these ceramic synthesis strategies often struggle to prepare homogeneous samples free from impurity phases, and in general cannot be utilized to prepare metastable phases.By applying low-temperature 'soft chemistry' via the use of precursor phases or solvothermal and flux synthesis routes, more homogeneous samples can be prepared. …”
