A planet dubbed as Sol 12 is discovered by several space agencies, throwing humanity into a panic when they find that intelligent life appears to inhabit this planet. When that alien race reaches out to Earth via a trio of diplomats, fears gradually fall as they try to prove that they want to reestablish a long lost connection they once had with humanity. But nothing is ever as simple as that.After tragedy strikes on both planets, the alien diplomats are torn their separate ways. All hell breaks loose on Earth and Sol 12, leaving United States President Eric Butler to rely on a previously unknown ally to attempt to save Earth.

Discusses recent technological applications and advances in sol-gel processing of various ceramics, gels and glasses. Also features historical aspects from the initial discovery of the development of sol-gel processing for ceramics 50 years ago.
This volume brings you the latest developments in thin and thick films, powders, composites and hybrids, and display applications of advanced ceramic materials. The unique focus of this collection of papers is its concentration on the commercialization of sol-gel processing. Proceedings of the Symposium at the 102nd Annual Meeting of The American Ceramic Society, held May 1-2, 2000, in St. Louis, Missouri; Ceramic Transactions, Volume 123.
The sol-gel process, also known as chemical solution deposition, is a wet-chemical technique widely used in the fields of materials science and ceramic engineering. Such methods are used primarily for the fabrication of materials (typically a metal oxide) starting from a chemical solution which acts as the precursor for an integrated network (or gel) of either discrete particles or network polymers. This book presents current research from around the globe in the study of the sol-gel process, including sol-gel based materials for biomedical applications; methods for prevention, diagnosis and treatment achieved with the aid of sol-gel chemistry; protein sol-gel encapsulation with polymer additives; the application of a sol-gel based nanostructured ceramic membrane for hydrogen separation for CO2 capture purposes; and sol-gel titania.
