This symposium will cover recent progress and emerging novel approaches capable of conferring ceramic materials and systems unique properties that cannot be achieved from conventional routes and/or provide simplified or cheaper processing routes. Covered will be dense or porous materials, fibres, coatings, and composite, graded and hybrid structures. Processing challenges and new directions for the control at atomic scale and rational design of complex micro- and nano-structures with optimised properties will be outlined as well as advances on the state-of.-the-art computational tools applied to processing, novel characterisation and imaging tools, and computer aided design and manufacturing. Session Topics
Sol-gel, hydrotermal, hydrolysis, ion exchange, etc.
