This book provides a comprehensive survey of French contributions to the synthesis of nano-sized powders and the production of nano-structures silicon-based composites by liquid-phase sintering using nano-sized powders where interfaces play a decisive role for the evolution of properties.

It focuses on a series of identical materials including preparation conditions, physical and chemical analysis, preparation and mechanical property determination of silicon-based nanocomposites.

Edited by well-known experts in the field of research, the content of Nanostructured Silicon-based Powders and Composites is very detailed and strongly interdisciplinary and will be valuable for a broad readership in research and education.
