Fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are becoming increasingly important materials for a wide range of high temperature applications, in aero-engine components and clean energy technologies, and CMCs are widely expected to extend their range of application fields in the near future. However, despite extensive research over recent decades, CMCs still have a number of unsolved issues that need to be addressed before the new applications can become a reality. This symposium has been designed to exchange ideas related to (i) innovative design approaches, including reliability assessment; (ii) advanced processing, including sintering, polymer impregnation and pyrolysis (PIP), reactive metal infiltration (RMI) and chemical vapor infiltration (CVI), amongst others; (iii) toughening and manufacturing approaches across both non-oxide and oxide composites. Thus SiC/SiC, C/SiC, oxide/oxide and hybrid-type CMCs, including short fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites, are all to be included in this symposium. Other topics related to the processing and (new) characterization of CMCs, such as quality assessment, in-use damage, repair and cost reduction methods are also welcomed.
