and Coatings

edited by John B. Wachtman
and Richard A. Haber

This is a comprehensive overview of the major areas of ceramic thin films and coatings, by 21 authorities on the subject.

The book presents a series of reviews of many of the most active and technically important areas of ceramic films and coatings. This thorough review of the state of the art of ceramic films and coatings should be a welcome addition to the ceramic engineer's or scientist's library.

Ceramic Films and Coatings is directed toward potential users of the technology and will also provide a broad update for experts in the field.
