Scope of the symposium
Advances on powder synthesis and processing have driven forward innovate fabrication of a wide variety of both traditional and novel industrial components. The intrinsic technological and economical advantages on the large scale use of powdered materials and the advances on powder technology have largely contributed to the development of the applied science for the ceramic and metal industry, including automotive, electromechanical, structural and technical ceramics, electronics, appliances, and pigments, to name a few. This symposium has traditionally promoted a multidisciplinary environment for undergoing work presentation and information exchange regarding recent advances on the synthesis, processing, characterization and uses of ceramic and metal powdered materials. The scientific program of the symposium includes invited lecturers in addition to both oral and poster presentations covering the most relevant areas related to particulate materials.
Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following topics:
Advances in powder synthesis
Powder shaping
Sintering
Thermal and thermochemical surface treatments applied to sintered materials
Microstructure and microstructural modeling of powdered and sintered materials
Characterization and properties of powdered materials
Alloy Design and Development
Intermetallics, ceramics and composites
Novel materials and emerging areas
Functionally graded materials (FGMs)
Catalytic materials
Use of particulate residues
