Inorganic non-metallic materials

Proceeding from a general and theoretical chapter the textbook deals with individual categories of inorganic non-metallic materials such as mineralic materials, glass and glass ceramics, non-oxidic materials, concrete-like materials, fibrous materials, and composite materials. From the point of view of materials science the presentation of the subject considers in all cases the connection between chamical composition and stucture, physical properties, and application behaviour. 237 figures, 72 tables, and 173 references are included
