Symposium: Fundamentals of Sintering and Advanced Sintering Processes
Scope of the Symposium:
This symposium covers fundamental aspects of sintering and related phenomena, such as grain growth, as well as recent advances in sintering processes. Both simulations (modelling) and experimental contributions are welcome, ranging from the atomistic perspective to a mesoscale description of sintering.
Abstracts on the following subjects may be submitted:
- Science and technology of conventional pressureless sintering
- Field- and pressure-assisted processes
- Science and technology of cold sintering
- Grain growth processes and modeling
- Sintering of porous materials
- Sintering and additive manufacturing
- Thermodynamics of sintering
- Control of ceramic properties via sintering and grain growth
