The properties and performance of structural and multifunctional materials largely depend on their processing and manufacturing routes. Manufacturing processes carefully designed with sufficient understanding of forming/sintering behaviors lead to reliable performance of components and products of large size and complex shapes. On the other hand, recently developed new processing and fabrication techniques of ceramic materials and systems give us unique properties which cannot be achieved from conventional routes.

This international symposium will discuss global advances in research and development of advanced processing and manufacturing technologies for a wide variety of non-oxide and oxide-based structural ceramics, fiber-reinforced and particulate composites, and multifunctional materials, as well as their components and devices. Current advances and state of the art in various eco-friendly processing approaches will be also covered.
