With continued discoveries and innovations, the field of materialssynthesis and processing remains as it has been for many decades, avibrant and fertile area for research and development. It comes,therefore, as no surprise that every Pac Rim conference has hadconsiderable emphasis on this topic with many symposia devoted tovarious aspects of this field.
This Ceramic Transactions volume represents selected papersbased on presentations in four symposia during the 8th Pacific RimConference on Ceramic and Glass Technology, held in Vancouver,British Columbia, May 31-June 5, 2009.
