Overview

Following the successful previous International Symposiums on SiAlONs and Non-oxides in 2001, 2007 and 2010, this meeting is intended to provide a broader forum to present the most recent developments in research and applications of SiAlON and non-oxide ceramics. The symposium will also have a focus on new processing techniques and novel applications including environmental and energy issues of non-oxide ceramics.

Proposed Topics

New SiAlON, nitride and carbide phases
Polymer derived non-oxide ceramics
Powder processing
Microstructural design and control
Nano- and micro-composites
Porous non-oxide ceramics
Functional SiAlONs and non-oxide ceramics
Applications for SiAlONs and non-oxides
Environmentlly-related non-oxide ceramics
