Materials research symposium 1988 of the Federal German Ministry of Research and Technology (BMFT). Proceedings and posters. Vol. 2

In 1985, the Federal Minister for Research and Technology has started the material research programme in the framework of the concentration of promotion activities on key technologies. With the help of the instrument of joint project promotion i.e. the partnership cooperation of industry and scientific institutes, long-term and risky problems of modern material research were and are still tackled. Three years after the start of the programme, the present state of technology of the Federal Republic of Germany in the field of the new materials is to be demonstrated and reviewed by means of the 'Symposium Material Research'. By means of surveying and specialized lectures, results ranging from the basic research to the application-oriented material development are presented. The second volume deals with the following allied topics: 1) polymeric composite materials, 2) metallurgical composite materials, 3) measuring, testing and analytical techniques, 4) lifetime, failure mechanisms, and 5) tribology, layers. After that, there is a poster presentation in the field of ceramics, powder metallurgy, high-temperature and special materials, composite materials and new polymers. 20 contributions were separately recorded for the data base 'ENERGY'.
