Welcome

Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, IIT Madras successfully organized the International Workshop on Advanced Ceramics for the Future (ACF-2012).

Held on 16^th and 17^th January, 2012

Venue: ICSR Main Auditorium, IIT Madras

Scope

This workshop is intended to bring ceramic scientists from academics to industry together on a single platform to discuss future trends of ceramics in the areas of energy, environment, security on land and in the marine world. The need for interdisciplinary research has become inevitable and has brought materials scientists, chemists, physicists, biologists and engineers to work together to solve technological problems of the modern world. This workshop intends to serve that purpose by inviting eminent scientists who can connect science and technology. This workshop has only invited oral presentations. Participation from industries, labs and other academic institutions is possible by paying the registration fees.

The topics of interests include but not limited to:

Advanced structural UHT ceramics (oxides, carbides, nitrides),

Precursor derived ceramics,

Fuel cell materials,

Composites,

Coatings,

Membranes,

Piezoelectric ceramics,

Thermodynamics,

Modeling & simulation,

Bioceramics & biomimetics and

Evaluation of properties (mechanical, electrical, optical, magnetic).
