Symposium F 612.56 Kb

The aim of this Symposium is to review current state - of - the - art in the multidisciplinary research on nanostructured ceramics and ceramic based nanocomposites with the primary focus on reinforcement the relationship between basic science and engineering at the nanoscale level.

Scope:

Progress in a wide range of structural, functional and bio - medical applications of nanoceramics and ceramic based nanocomposites crucially depend on the development of new fabrication and processing technologies, along with a fundamental understanding of the relationship between their micro(-nano)structure and final properties. This will be the topic of the Symposium.

Oxide and non-oxide nanoceramics, glass/metal/carbon-ceramic composites (particle, nanofibers, nanotubes, graphene reinforced), in-situ and polymer derived nanocomposites in the form of nanopowders, coatings and bulk materials (monoliths, layered composites and FGM) will be the subject of the Symposium with application potential as

• Structural nanoceramics as cutting tools, engine components, etc., with improved hardness, strength, fracture toughness, creep, thermal shock and oxidation resistance, etc.
• Functional nanoceramics and composites for electronic applications, dielectrics, ferroelectrics, and piezoelectric materials. Ceramics for microwave and wireless communication technologies, etc.
• Materials for biomedical applications in orthopaedics, dentistry, drug delivery, bioactive coatings and interfaces, tissue engineering, etc
• Nanoceramics related to global challenges in the fields of energy and environment, connected with energy production, storage, batteries, photovoltaics, fuel cells, solar cells, supercapacitors, thermoelectrics etc.

Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:

• Advanced synthesis and processing technologies for nanopowder preparation and bulk & coating nanoceramics processing – plasma & laser synthesis, spark plasma sintering, etc.
• Micro/nano - structure characterization of nanoceramics and composites – AFM, HREM, XAFS, XPS, ETEM, etc.
• Mechanical and functional properties at nano level – nanohardness, nanotribology, nanoscratch, etc.
• Recent and potential applications of nanoceramics and ceramic based nanocomposites.
