Advanced Science and Technology of Sintering

the long version

This volume represents the proceedings of the Ninth World Round Table Conference on Sintering. The main aim is to present developments in the science of sintering and application of the sintering process for the production of materials. Special attention is devoted to new modeling and simulation of processes, development of physical theories in sintering, advanced and alternative processes to sintering and also powder production, processing and characterization of sintered oxides, electroceramics, non-oxides and other sintered materials.
