This is the first book worldwide about extrusion in ceramics to cover the complete subject. For the first time, readers find the principles of extrusion of ceramics, the history of extrusion in the ceramic industry, rheology of ceramic bodies, simulation for ceramic extrusion, wear and contamination in extrusion, additives for extrusion and more in 20 chapters, each chapter written by well known experts. Extrusion in Ceramics is written for advanced students in Material Sciences as well as for scientists, for experienced managers in the ceramic industry, as well as for newcomers who want to broaden their knowledge about the possibilities of this technology . The essential literature is cited for each chapter as well as for the whole field. Extrusion in Ceramics is a must for everybody who is involved in the extrusion of structural ceramics like bricks and tiles as well as in the extrusion of honeycombs and catalysts in advanced ceramics.

Within the Governmental Agreement on Cultural and Scientific Cooperation of 1969 between the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia and the Federal Republic of Germany, several Agreements were signed, i .e. - the Agreement between YUZAMS$^{x)}$ and BMFT$^{xx)}$ (1975). as well as - the Special Agreements between YUZAMS and KFA-Jülich$^{xxx)}$ (1977) and between KFA-Jülich and the Research Community of Slovenia (1978). Within this legal structure, the Vlllth Meeting on Materials Sciences and Development was held in Brdo pri Kranju fromMay 18-21, 1987, in order to discuss on scientific resu1ts of on-going bilateral cooperation projects, and to pinpoint possible new areas of interest for future cooperation. Indeed, since then, cooperation in the frame of existing projects has been deepened, complementary and coordinating aspects have been observed, and new fields of materials research have been entered into. Materials sciences is a key discipline for supporting developments in technologically applied fields from the design of novel materials with ascribed or defined properties for new applications (f.i.in informatics) on the one hand, to the fruitful impetus in traditional fields of research and development, on the other hand. As such, this discipline is one of the main pillars of German-Yugoslav bilateral cooperation. Within the range of competitive tension given by the need both for more basic-oriented research and for applicable results, a good balance has been maintained. Interest from the side of industrial firms for our work and during the VIIIth Meeting give proof of actual and prospective achievements of our common work, whereas endeavours to establish connections to the EUREKA-framework look promising. Yugoslav institutions are definitelyon their way to "Europe", [.]
