“I attend the ACerS Annual Meeting because I believe it is still the best meeting in the world that encompasses all aspects of ceramics. It continues to have the highest visibility from industrial, federal, and academic perspectives. The combined MS&T meeting extends our networking and scholarly exchange with a larger audience in materials. As many of us in the Basic Science Division work more and more on materials systems, it is important to broaden our horizons in materials other than just ceramics. The most successful of us are able to apply ideas that our colleagues in other disciplines and sub-disciplines have to ceramics science.”

MS&T'08 Technical Program - A Member's Perspective

Electronic and Magnetic Materials Featured Symposium:

Electroceramics Technologies:  The Past and Future - A Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the ACerS Electronics Division

"These presentations will highlight the most recent fundamental discoveries that are shaping the way we perceive these materials.  Such understanding is being used to identify new materials with higher piezoelectric performance that are more environmentally friendly."

Dr. Robert Schwartz
Missouri University of Science and Technology
Symposium Organizer

Fundamentals And Characterization Featured Symposium:

The Effect of Electrical (and Electromagnetic) Fields and Stress (and Capability) on Diffusional Transport in Ceramics and Related Phenomena

"Applied electrical fields hold an enormous potential for manipulating the processing, performance and sensing properties of polycrystaline ceramics.  Microwave and SPS sintering are just early examples of this emerging field where basic science can lead to new technologies."
