TOPIC 01 - Raw materials, Powder preparation, PrecursorsSubtopics: raw materials, supply chains, recycling, powder synthesis, powder processing, precursor ceramics The selection of suitable raw materials and processes for their production are of increasing importance for the development of modern advanced ceramics. Structural ceramics, for example, require the use of very fine raw powders, functional ceramics require the most homogeneous distribution of dopants in the raw material and silicate ceramics require the targeted extraction and suitable conditioning of naturally occurring raw materials to ensure processing properties that are as uniform as possible. In polymer-derived ceramics, the metal-organic precursors also have a decisive influence on the crosslinking and ceramization behavior as well as the chemical composition of the resulting ceramic. Topic 1 covers all aspects from obtaining raw materials to their processing and recycling options. The following topics, among others, are in focus:

TOPIC 02 - Ceramic processingSubtopics: thermal processes, sintering, energy efficiency, coatings, green machining, injection molding, additive manufacturing, automation, digitization Recent developments of the cornerstone policy of the Emissions Trading System (ETS), the planned introduction of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the conversion of the energy supply from fossil fuels to renewable alternatives to achieve industry´s climate neutrality by 2050 as well as the potential supply risk of critical material resources enforces the ceramic industry to further developments of resource- and raw material-saving processes and profound adaptations and technical innovations of ceramic process technologies. The Topic Ceramic Processing is a forum for promoting these technical innovations at the interface of materials science, process engineering and application. Leading scientists in their field will report on current findings and the latest process engineering developments along the ceramic process chain (ceramic shaping and coating processes, green body processing, thermal processing and sintering techniques, and finishing) as well as on current results in the fields of additive manufacturing, process automation and digitization. We welcome contributions on the following topics:

TOPIC 03 - Characterization, Modelling, SimulationSubtopics: materials and process diagnostics, simulation and modelling, characterization of porous materials This topic covers the characterization, modelling and simulation of porous and dense ceramic materials in the entire process chain from manufacturing to application. The topic equally addresses the establishment and use of new as well as existing testing and characterization methods as well as the use of simulation and modelling methods from material to (micro-)structure and on to processes and applications. Examples may include:

TOPIC 04 - Silicate ceramicsSubtopics: silicate ceramics, materials and technology The oldest material group of all ceramics, is used everywhere in the fields of tableware, sanitary ware, building materials and tiles, thermal engineering, measurement and control technology, process and environmental technology, high and low voltage technology etc. Especially regarding the current demands from the areas of legal requirements, recycling, energy and supply chains, silicate ceramics are in a state of upheaval. In the symposium itself, all application areas of silicate ceramics should receive their equal consideration, therefore submissions from all application areas are highly welcome. Examples may include:

TOPIC 05 - Refractory ceramicsSubtopics: refractory ceramics, materials and technology Refractories (ceramics, metals, composites) are used at temperatures exceeding 600° Celsius. They are irreplaceable for today's society and a liveable environment. Without them, electricity generation or cell phone technology would be just as impossible as the production of metals, cement, ceramics, glass, or the design of processes in the chemical industry. The goals of CO2 reduction, the use of hydrogen in metallurgical processes, or the use of oxygen in the cement industry are closely linked to developments in the field of these high-temperature materials. Their macro-and micro design opens up a broad innovation potential for new process technologies and new product qualities under challenging economic and ecological boundary conditions. Papers may include:

TOPIC 06 - Structural ceramicsSubtopics: wear-resistant ceramics, transparent ceramics, ballistic protection This topic covers ceramics with exceptional temperature and corrosion resistance, mechanical stability and tribological properties. Composites, functionalized materials and coatings that enable new combinations of properties and applications are addressed. Fields of applications are not only wear parts, cutting tools, bearings, seals, valves or pumps in plant engineering but also armour and aerospace ceramics. Contributions are expected on the following material categories, among others:
