Ceramic Nanocomposites: Interface Design, Properties and Applications provides a detailed review of the latest advances in this field. The book thoroughly explores every aspect, from preparation techniques to performance testing and practical applications. It not only shares the latest research findings but also systematically summarizes various preparation methods and design strategies. Sections focus on the selection of nanofillers, interface optimization techniques, and how these factors influence key properties of the resultant composites such as mechanical strength, thermal stability, and electrical properties.

Additionally, the book extensively discusses the application prospects of nanocomposites in high-performance electronics, biomedical, and energy storage, and conversion sectors, offering a systematic theoretical and practical perspective. This makes it a comprehensive guide for developing new ceramic nanocomposite materials and promoting their industrial applications.
