Preface
This proceedings issue contains contributions from three energy related symposia that were part of the 39th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC), in Daytona Beach, Florida, January 25-30, 2015:
Advanced Ceramics and Composites for Sustainable Nuclear Energy and Fusion Energy
Advanced Materials and Technologies for Energy Generation, Conversion, and Rechargeable Energy Storage
Advanced Ceramic Materials and Processing for Photonics and Energy
The first two symposia were sponsored by The American Ceramic Society's (ACerS) Engineering Ceramics Division and the third by ACerS Nuclear & Environmental Technology Division.
The editors wish to thank the authors and presenters for their contributions, the symposium organizers for their time and labor, and all the manuscript reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions. Acknowledgment is also due for financial support from the Engineering Ceramics Division, the Nuclear & Environmental Technology Division, and The American Ceramic Society. The editors wish to thank ACerS for assembling and publishing the proceedings.

Introduction
This CESP issue consists of papers that were submitted and approved for the proceedings of the 39th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC), held January 25–30, 2015 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 39th ICACC hosted more than 1,000 attendees from 40 countries and over 800 presentations. 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.
The 2015 conference was organized into the following 21 symposia and sessions:
Symposium 1
Mechanical Behavior and Performance of Ceramics and Composites
Symposium 2
Advanced Ceramic Coatings for Structural, Environmental, and Functional Applications
Symposium 3
12th 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
Symposium 6
Advanced Materials and Technologies for Energy Generation and Rechargeable Energy Storage
Symposium 7
9th International Symposium on Nanostructured Materials and Nanocomposites
Symposium 8
9th International Symposium on Advanced Processing & Manufacturing Technologies for Structural & Multifunctional Materials and Systems (APMT), In Honor of Prof. Stuart Hampshire
Symposium 9
