Proceedings of the 106th Annual Meeting of The American Ceramic Society The Proceedings of the 106th Annual Meeting of The American Ceramic Society Characterization and Modeling to Control Sintered Ceramic Microstructures
and Properties This proceedings is designed to provide a forum that integrates research in characterization and modeling to advance the science of ceramic/composite sintering. Densification, shape deformation, and microstructure evolution during sintering is addressed. Surfaces, Interfaces and Science of Ceramic Joining This proceedings offers information for those interested in the fundamental aspects of ceramic surface and interfacial phenomenon such as wetting, adhesion, chemical reactivity, and structure-property relationships, and the influence of these factors on the nature of bonding/joining of ceramic materials. Ceramic Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology III This volume contains papers on the synthesis and processing of inorganic
nanomaterials and nanocomposites; structure-property correlations
at the nanoscale; understanding of fundamental phenomena in nanoscale
systems and processes; applications of nanostructured materials; and industrial
development of nanomaterials. This proceedings will investigate the relationship between features at the atomic level including oxygen vacancies, stacking faults and site order/disorder, grain boundaries, film-substrate interactions, buffer-superconductor interactions, thermodynamic, transport, and other macroscopic properties. This proceedings will also cover fundamental material properties studies, new growth methods, device and materials integration research, and developments in designing and growing new materials, all involving epitaxial superconducting thin films. Developments in Fuel Cells and Lithium Ion Batteries This proceedings focuses on both the scientific and technological aspects of fuel cells and high energy density batteries including solid oxide; proton exchange membrane; and direct methanol fuel cells; lithium-ion batteries; oxide-ion electrolytes; proton conductors; mixed ionic-electronic conductors; electrocatalysts, new materials development; and other related solid state and electrochemical aspects including supercapacitors and oxygen separation membranes. Advanced Dielectric, Piezoelectric and Ferroelectric Thin Films Advances in synthesis and characterization of dielectric, piezoelectric
and ferroelectric thin films are included in this volume. Recent work on
piezoelectric characterization, AFE to FE dielectric phase transformation
dielectrics, solution and vapor deposited thin films, and materials integration
are among the topics included. Novel approaches to nanostructuring, characterization
of material properties and physical responses at the nanoscale also is
included. Advances in Photonic Materials and Devices Photonics is a critically important technology. It complements maturing micro-electronics to create new directions that impacts a wide-ranging array of other industries. From a materials standpoint, this technology uses essentially all the classes of materials and seeks to hybridize them to create new devices. Glasses and dielectric materials have played and will continue to play a vital role in the progress of this field. Bioceramics: Materials and Applications V This proceedings included papers on ceramics and glasses used in biomedical, dental and biological applications, including biomimetics and natural bioceramic materials. Topics include: materials; applications; biomimetic materials and synthesis; structure/properties of natural ceramic-based materials; behavior in biological environments; and synthesis, processing, characterization, and properties. Advances in Ceramic Matrix Composites X Ceramic matrix composites are likely candidates for high-temperature structural applications in industries such as aerospace, utilities, and transportation. This volume included papers on advances in basic science and technology of ceramic matrix composites and how these advances can be used to address technological issues faced by industry. Innovative Processing and Synthesis of Ceramics, Glasses and Composites
VIII The latest developments in ceramic, glass and composites processing and characterization are covered in this volume. Papers from industry, academia and research laboratories on the advances in basic science and technology and how these can be used to address technological issues faced by the industry are included. Developments in Dielectric Materials and Electronic Devices Papers in this volume include topics such as materials synthesis and processing; relaxors; novel compositions; material design; materials for multilayer electronic devices; processing-microstructure-property relationship; applications; environmental issues; and economic/cost analysis of tomorrow's electronic devices.
This proceedings is designed to capture advances in the state of knowledge in the nuclear and waste materials science and technology. In addition, the proceedings intend to address the environmental issues associated with ceramic processing. The status of environmental issues and solutions proposed or being performed to respond to the issues will be addressed.
This volume summarizes the most recent developments in experimentation,
computation, and theory on chemistry of glass forming melt, including melt
structure modeling and melt structure and characterizations. This volume
provides a timely update on the advances in glass basic science research
and development. |
