Scope of the Symposium:
The development of industrial activities has reached a high technical development but the immediate future needs the establishment of processes and manufacture strategies capable to overcome the current impact to environment and to improve social skills and needings. In such a context, new solutions for sustainable growth of ceramics performance environmentally friendly without any health risk and capable to benefit from natural resources are urgently claimed by a society more and more concerned of the importance of reducing contamination and improving life conditions. Therefore, it is essential to develop new processing strategies for the green manufacture of ceramics to preserve natural sustainability and to generate clean and sustainable energy sources. This symposium focuses on new science and technology of ceramic processing especially concerned with these aspects of sustainability, friendly for environment and health and with reduced costs. On this basis, this symposium welcomes and encourages all ceramics community to submit their recent works dealing with novel aspects of the different steps of ceramic processing, including the development of new, eco-friendly synthesis routes, the optimization of powders preparation, colloidal dispersions and rheology, the study of natural biomolecules and natural additives, the theoretical and practical analysis of innovative shaping techniques involving non-contaminant steps or additives, the use of clean and energetically efficient processes and the recuperation of wastes and recycled products, as well as new aspects concerning the development of fast sintering procedures capable to reduce environmental impact and energy consumption at reduced costs. In addition, the design and manufacture of ceramics and ceramic based composites with complex shapes and tailored microstructures with especial functionalities including aligned porosity, texturation, lamination, etc, are also welcome.
Abstracts on the following subjects may be submitted:
- Novel synthesis routes
- Chemical routes avoiding toxic precursors, such as colloidal sol-gel, freeze drying, chemical routes, etc
- Routes for the fast, clean synthesis of nanopowders, such as spray flame pyrolysis, microwaves assisted synthesis, etc
- Synthesis of mixtures, core-shell structures, powders with special shapes and geometries, nano and microspheres, etc
- Modification and beneficiation of raw materials avoiding environmentally aggressive conditions
- Modelling and engineering of milling and mixing procedures
- Controlled granulation by spraying, freezing, etc
- Dry powder processing

- Colloidal based processes for three dimensional parts including slip casting and derivatives, gelcasting, micropatterning, etc
- Plastic forming processes, low and high pressure injection moulding, extrusion, etc
- Manufacture of thin and thick films and coatings by vapor assisted techniques such as CVD, PVD, etc, or using suspensions or particulate sols, such as dipping, spin coating, electrophoretic deposition, etc.
- Production of laminates and functionally graded materials with functional or structural applications, focusing biomimetic materials, multilayer devices, textured laminates, etc
- Shaping of porous ceramics using friendly additives, ice-templating, polysaccharides, starches, etc
