This volume is dedicated to the ever-expanding fields of application of nitrides in ceramics, metals, glasses, composites and coatings. The papers cover all of those branches of materials science and engineering which concern the role of nitrogen in the improvement and modification of the properties of materials; particularly those destined for novel applications.The contents are organised into six sections: Preparation and Crystal Chemistry of Nitrides and Oxynitrides; Oxynitride Glasses and Glass-Ceramics; Silicon Nitride Based Ceramics; Nitride-Based Composites; Characterisation and Modelling of Nitrides and Oxynitrides; Nitride Coatings.These peer-reviewed papers will make a very significant contribution to the assessment of the current state-of-the-art of Nitride and Oxynitride research.
