This marks three decades of progress in the science and technology development in ceramics since the first meeting of this group, held at the Pennsylvania State University in 1973, which was published in Volumes 1 and 2 of this series. The meetings continued over approximately four year intervals, held subsequently in
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Japan Fine Ceramics Center, Nagoya, Japan, and Kernforschungszentrum, Karlsruhe, Germany.
With the natural maturing of the fields of structural ceramics, the present symposium has focused on nano-scale materials, composites, thin films and coatings as well as glass. The symposium also addressed new issues on fundamentals of fracture mechanics and contact mechanics, and a session on reliability and standardization.
The International Organizing Committee gratefully acknowledges the support from the Cullen College of Engineering, and the dedicated help from the local organizing committee. This includes Prof. L. Wheeler, Prashant Haldipur, Jennifer Husmo, Sandra Luna, Charlotte Palm and Jonathan Claydon. Additionally, I wish to thank the materials students who participated in the effort: Duo Liu, Mike Chelf, Marcos Flores, Rafael Longo and Yi Fang.
Special thanks are extended to NASA Astronaut Dr. Bonnie Dunbar for her wonderful banquet presentation.Contents
