Each issue of Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceedings includes a collection of
technical articles in a general area of interest. These articles are of practical value for the
ceramic industries and the general public. The issues are based on the proceedings of a
conference. Both American Ceramic Society and non-Society conferences provide these
technical articles. Each issue is organized by an editor who selects and edits material from
the conference proceedings. The opinions expressed are entirely those of the presentors.
There is no other review prior to publication.
Foreword
The conference was sponsored by the Departments of Materials Science and
Engineering of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and
The Ohio State University.
David L. Wilcox, Sr., Professor of Ceramic Engineering, was Director of
the conference, and local arrangements and conference operations were
handled by Conference Coordinator Mary k Cummings, of the Department

William R. Schowalter, Dean of the College of Engineering, UIUC, gave
the welcoming address. James Economy, Head of the Department of
Materials Science and Engineering, UIUC, gave the departmental greeting.
Themes and cochairmen of the conference sessions were as follows:
Session 1: Current Issues
John L. Martin, Owens-Corning
Joseph E. Moore, National Refractories
Session 2: Energy and Environment Issues
Roger F. Madrazo, Anchor Glass
Carl W. Hibscher, Toledo Engineering
Session 3: Oxy-Fuel Combustion Update
Christopher H. Welker, General Electric
Frank E. Woolley, Corning Incorporated
Charles H. Drummond 111, Associate Professor of Ceramic Engineering,
The Ohio State University, presided at the banquet. The program was
dedicated to the memory of Professor Fay V. Tooley and music was provided
by the "Medicare 7-8 or 9."
The Conference was held in the Illini Union Building, Urbana, IL.
