Technical Program
The technical program includes plenary invited lectures, session invited lectures, contributed papers, poster presentations and the roundtable discussion on the “Fundamental Aspects of Novel Sintering Techniques.” Download the Preliminary Program now.
A tabletop exhibition of industrial companies involved in powder processing will be held during the conference.
All aspects of sintering of importance to all classes of materials will be addressed. Symposia topcis are as follows:
• Fundamental Aspects of Sintering
• In-situ Measurements in Sintering
• Modeling of Sintering at Multiple Scales
• Sintering of Electronic Materials
• Sintering of Nano-structured Materials
• Novel Sintering Processes; Field-assisted Sintering Techniques
• Evolution and Control of Microstructure during Sintering Processes
• Sintering of Multi-material and Multi-layered Systems
• Application of Sintering in Emerging Energy and Bio Applications
Although significant progress has been made, there are many fundamental and practical questions that remain unanswered regarding the above-mentioned topics. Recent experimental and theoretical developments make this an ideal time to convene a meeting of sintering scientists interested in these topics.
The goal of this meeting is to discuss current advances in the investigation and control of sintering processes; define and analyze the most important problems, and to identify new research opportunities.
