This symposium focuses on recent advances in thermal barrier, environmental barrier and multifunctional coatings for high temperature ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). The symposium will address fundamental aspects of coating sciences and technologies, emphasizing advanced design methodologies; processing; property evaluation and modeling; non-destructive testing; as well as coating integration with ceramic matrix composite systems. Topics of interest include simulation and coating performance demonstration; multi-scale modeling and experiment validation of coating processing-microstructure-property relationships; enhanced coating environmental stability, durability, and multi-functionality through innovative coating composition, architecture and processing optimizations; novel, hybrid and sensor embedded coating processing for extreme environments; coating testing and response to simulated operating conditions, life prediction and modeling; design of coating interfaces and grain boundaries for low diffusion, high fracture toughness, and calcia-magnesia-alumino-silicate (CMAS) resistance. Case studies on engineered thermal/environmental barrier coating/CMC systems for aerospace, automotive, and energy applications are also of interest.
