Focused Session 4: Ceramic/Carbon Reinforced Polymers
This focused session will cover ceramic/carbon reinforced polymer composites utilized in a wide range of industrial applications including energy, environment, biological, space, transportation, building, and sport. This symposium aims to bring together the technical community to share recent advances in experimental or simulation approaches for the fabrication, processing, characterization, properties, and modeling of ceramic, ceramic/carbon reinforced polymers. The role of inorganic phases in the composites, in which that can provide various functionalities such as mechanical, thermal, biological, insulation, electric, chemical resistant and wear properties, composed of fillers or fibers from the nanometers to millimeters, and in textured to random. This symposium will be the ideal showcase for the research activities of many groups involved in the development of ceramic/carbon reinforced polymers and composites, and their recycling technology, including but not limited to the areas of ceramics, plastics, their interface chemistry, mechanics, modeling and simulation and engineering application.
