Presentation title: Frontiers in refractories

Abstract:  Materials science discoveries emerge. Manufacturing processes and industrial/digital optimizations advance. Applications computational modelling progresses. Environment and sustainability responsibilities exist. Refractory ceramic systems play a critical role in the economic success of many high temperature processing industries. These engineered materials require predictable performance and controlled functionality. How will we seize upon these challenges as opportunities? How do we bridge new technologies? How will we inspire the next generation of materials pioneers?
