A final decision regarding this year’s Electroceramics XVII conference has been made. Due to the ongoing pandemic, we had to cancel the physical conference in Darmstadt, Germany, which has been scheduled for August 24-27, 2020. Nevertheless, we are very pleased to announce that the Electroceramics XVII conference will be organized as the first all-virtual version of this biannual meeting in order to share our research and stay connected during these insecure times. Updated information about the conference organization, technical details, fees and extra events will be available soon on the conference webpage: www.electroceramics17.org (LINK: Information / Registration)

In two tracks experts from industry to research will present developments in the ceramic process chain to advances in 3D printing and beyond.

55. Treffen des AK Verstärkung keramischer Werkstoffe im Rahmen eines CU-Thementages

Die Frühjahrssitzung des DKG Fachausschusses 2 "Rohstoffe“ findet bei der Fa. Stephan Schmidt KG in Langendernbach statt.

The Spring School aims at presenting a current overview of ceramic materials and technologies for selected energy applications. A topical focus is put on high-temperature power generation (gas turbines, concentrated solar power) and electrochemical applications based on ionic transport (solid oxide fuel cells, gas separation membranes, electrochemical storage).

This conference follows from the success of the first six International Conferences on Electrophoretic Deposition: Fundamentals and Applications, organized under sponsorship of the UEF in August 2002 (Canada) and ECI in June 2005 (Italy), October 2008 (Japan), October 2011 (Mexico), October 2014 (Austria) and October 2017 (Korea). The goal is to bring together experts working in the area of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) with focus mainly on its application as a processing technique for the fabrication of both traditional and new materials and composites.

Neuartige Werkstoffe wie refraktäre Metalllegierungen, Ultrahoch­temperatur­keramiken, nanokristalline dichte Materialien und anorganische Verbundwerkstoffe (z.B. durch temperaturempfindliche Elemente wie Kohlenstoffnanoröhrchen verstärkt) sind nicht ohne Weiteres über die traditionellen Sintermethoden herzustellen.

Sodium batteries are the most promising low-cost alternative to Lithium cells. Exchange of ideas in this field is crucial for joint progress and public visibility. It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 2nd International Sodium Battery Symposium (SBS2) to be held in Dresden – the scientific, economic and cultural center of Saxony and one of the most beautiful cities of Germany.

Entwicklung feuerfester Werkstoffe (Nachhaltiger Umgang mit notwendigen/verfügbaren Resourcen)

Der DKG FA 4 beschäftigt sich mit allen Themenbereichen aus dem Bereich der thermischen Prozesse, wie Ofenanlagen, Wärmeleitfähigkeiten von Keramiken, Brennstoffe etc.

The XVII ECerS Conference will be divided in 9 general topics covering most aspects of ceramic science and technology: Innovative processing and synthesis, high-temperature processes and advanced sintering, modeling of ceramics, advanced structural ceramics, composites and refractories, ceramics and glasses for healthcare, ceramics for energy conversion and storage, functional ceramics, silicate ceramics, ceramics in cultural heritage and art.
