Advances in Powder and Ceramic Materials Science 2023

This collection emphasizes the advances of powder and ceramic/glass materials in the fundamental research, technology development, and industrial applications. Ceramic materials science covers the science and technology of creating objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials, and includes design, synthesis, and fabrication of ceramics, glasses, advanced concretes, and ceramic-metal composites. In recent years, the hybrids of ceramic and metallic materials have received plenty of interdisciplinary inspirations and achievements in material processes and functional applications including ionic conductors, catalysis, energy conversion and storage, superconductors, semiconductor, filtrations, etc. Topics cover, but are not limited to:*       Silicates, oxides, and non-oxide ceramics and glassesnbsp;      Synthesis, characterization, modeling, and simulation of ceramic materialsnbsp;      Design and control of ceramic microstructure and propertiesnbsp;      Ceramic powders and processingnbsp;      Catalyst and catalyst support materialsnbsp;      Fundamental understanding of ceramic materials and processesnbsp;      Novel methods, techniques, and instruments used to characterize ceramics and glassesnbsp;      High entropy ceramics (and/or entropy stabilized, complex-concentrated, compositionally-complex, multi-principal cation ceramics)nbsp;      Bioceramics, electronic, magnetic ceramics, and applicationsnbsp;      Surface treatment and ceramic thin films, membranes, and coatingsnbsp;      Porous ceramic materialsnbsp;      Hybrid systems of ceramic, metal, and/or polymer compositesnbsp;      Ceramics used for extreme environmentsnbsp;      Metallurgical byproducts for ceramic manufacturing
