INTRODUCTION

This collected proceedings consists of 25 papers that were submitted and approved for the proceedings of the 42nd International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC), held January 21-26, 2018 in Daytona Beach, Florida. ICACC is the most prominent international meeting in the area of advanced structural, functional, and nanoscopic ceramics, composites, and other emerging ceramic materials and technologies. This prestigious conference has been organized by the Engineering Ceramics Division (ECD) of The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) since 1977.

The 42nd ICACC hosted over 950 attendees from 37 countries. The topics ranged from ceramic nanomaterials to structural reliability of ceramic components, which demonstrated the linkage between materials science developments at the atomic level and macro level structural applications. Papers addressed material, model, and component development and investigated the interrelations between the processing, properties, and microstructure of ceramic materials. This year's conference included a special symposium in honor of Dr. Mrityunjay Singh titled: Advancing Frontiers of Ceramics for Sustainable Societal Development.

The 2018 conference was organized into the following 17 symposia, 3 Focused Sessions and 2 Special Symposia:

Symposium 1 Mechanical Behavior and Performance of Ceramics and Composites
Symposium 2 Advanced Ceramic Coatings for Structural, Environmental, and Functional Applications
Symposium 3 15 th International Symposium on Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC): Materials, Science, and Technology
Symposium 4 Armor Ceramics: Challenges and New Developments
Symposium 5 Next Generation Bioceramics and Biocomposites
