Extended abstract deadline for CERMODEL2017 congress (Trento, Italy, July 26-28, 2017)

Webpage: http://events.unitn.it/en/cermodel2017

Extended deadline for 1 page-abstract submission: March 30, 2017

The Congress aims at gathering together international experts in the field of ceramic science and material modelling with representatives from research institutes and industry in order to enhance the communication between experimental materials research and computational work, to improve efficiency in several steps of the processing procedures and to predict the potential of new advanced materials under specific application conditions and for specific functionalities. Beside structural ceramics, special emphasis will be given to ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs), ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) and ultra-high temperature ceramic-matrix composites (UHTCMCs): prospects for successful insertion of these classes of materials are now being researched in aerospace, nuclear and other structural applications.

A special issue of Journal of European Ceramic Society is planned as the outcome of the CERMODEL2017 congress (submission deadline: October 31, 2017).
