PACC 2: Advanced Ceramics and Composites

Advanced ceramics and composites are strategic materials in a wide range of industrial applications in the field of automotive, aerospace, electrical and electronic, and medical.

This symposium invites abstracts in the field of advanced or modern ceramics (oxides, non-oxides, and ceramic composites) for a wide range of applications including, but not limited to structural (mechanical), electrical and electronic, and biomedical. This section brings together ceramic engineers, scientists, and technologists to discuss and share advances and challenges in ceramic synthesis, processing, characterization, and properties.

 Proposed session topics

•  Structural ceramics and ceramic matrix composites
• Ceramic coatings and thin films
• Electroceramics (piezo and ferroelectric ceramic composites)
• Ceramics for biomedical applications
• Novel synthesis and advanced ceramic processing
• Fabrication techniques of ceramic composites
• Advanced ceramics characterization/testing
• Processing-microstructure-properties-performance relationships
• Industrial applications of advanced ceramics and composites
• High- and ultra-high temperature ceramics
