Meeting Description
We are pleased to announce that the 45th International Conference & Exposition on Advanced Ceramics & Composites (ICACC) will be held from February 8–12, 2021. This conference has a strong history of being the preeminent international meeting on advanced structural and functional ceramics, composites, and other emerging ceramic materials and technologies. On behalf of the American Ceramics Society, the Engineering Ceramics Division (ECD) has organized this esteemed event since 1977. Due to the high quality of technical presentations and unique networking opportunities, this event has achieved tremendous worldwide interest and has attracted active participation from ceramic researchers and developers from the global technical community thanks to the dedication and support of our membership.
This year the technical program will reflect the growth and success of ICACC by featuring 18 symposia, five focused sessions, one special focused session, the 10th Global Young Investigator Forum (GYIF), and one honorable symposium. These technical sessions, consisting of both oral and poster presentations, will provide an open forum for scientists, researchers, and engineers from around the world to present and exchange findings on recent advances on various aspects related to ceramic science and technology. The technical program reflects critical areas of interest within ceramics and advanced composites, with a particular emphasis on current trends in research, development, engineering, and application of advanced ceramics.
