Joining and Adhesion of Advanced Inorganic Materials Symposium held in San

摘要

This volume is a record of the first Joining and Adhesion of Advanced InorganicMaterials Symposium, held on April 12-14 at the 1993 MRS Spring Meeting in San Francisco, California. We brought together for this symposium an international group of researchers working in every aspect of materials joining and adhesion, from fundamental theoretical aspects of adhesion to joining techniques being applied in the commercial world. Adhesion of thin films and coatings was discussed at the atomic/electronic level, as well as on the practical level of coatings for wear resistance. Joining of a broad range of materials was discussed, including ceramics and ceramic matrix composites, metals and metal matrix composites, and semiconductors. A variety of novel joining techniques were described, many of which are destined to become commercially important technologies in the near future.
