Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews: "The editor with his 25 co-autors succeeded to present a handbook, which for the first time covers the complete field of extrusion technology. … ‘Extrusion in Ceramics’ is written for advanced students in Material Sciences as well as for scientists, for experienced managers in the ceramic industry, as well as for newcomers who want to broaden their knowledge about the possibilities of this technology." (Ziegelindustrie International, Issue 9, 2007) "It is a fact that this is the first textbook world-wide which completely covers the entire subject of column extrusion in ceramics. … There will be quite a diverse readership for this significant textbook. For study purposes and for those involved in teaching and research, as well as for those confronted with the subject on a daily practical basis, in areas extending from structural ceramics to high efficiency (technical) ceramics and materials science, it will be a useful aid." (M. Roehrs, Interceram, 2007)

1.0 out of 5 stars A great disappointment, September 18, 2007
By 
A. Walker (Victoria, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Extrusion in Ceramics (Engineering Materials and Processes) (Hardcover)
The claims to cover "the principles of extrusion of ceramics", "rheology of ceramic bodies", and "additives for extrusion" among other subjects. The coverage is superficial, selects a few isolated topics and is of little use to an engineer or scientist. The book lacks an overall connecting narrative or underlying theoretical framework. Some of the contributors have published far more useful material elsewhere. I have worked in ceramic extrusion for 15 years and this is one of the least helpful books on the subject that I have ever seen.
