Advanced Processing and Manufacturing Technologies for Structural and Multifunctional Materials
The Second International Symposium on Advanced Processing and Manufacturing Technologies for Structural and Multifunctional Materials and Systems (APMT) was held during the 32nd International Cocoa Beach Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites, in Daytona Beach, FL, January 27-February 1, 2008. The aim of this international symposium was to discuss global advances in the research and development of advanced processing and manufacturing technologies for a wide variety of non-oxide and oxide based structural ceramics, particulate and fiber
reinforced composites, and multifunctional materials. This year’s symposium also honored Professor Yoshinari Miyamoto, Osaka University, Japan, for his long term and outstanding contributions to processing and manufacturing science and technologies. A total of 67 papers, including invited talks, oral presentations and posters, were presented from 10 countries (USA, Japan, Germany, Australia, Ireland, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Korea, India, Poland, and Slovenia). The speakers represented universities, industry and research laboratories.
This issue contains 23 invited and contributed papers, all peer reviewed according to the American Ceramic Society Review Process. The latest developments in processing and manufacturing technologies are covered, including smart processing, advanced composite manufacturing, novel forming and sintering technologies, microwave-processing, polymer-based processing and film deposition technologies. These papers discuss the most important aspects necessary for understanding and further development of processing and manufacturing of ceramic materials and systems.
