PACRIM14 will provide a unique forum for knowledge exchange and sharing, and facilitate the establishment of new contacts from all over the world. The technical program will cover a wide range of exciting and emerging topics organized into a 7-track system which includes 42 symposia planned that will identify global challenges and opportunities for various ceramic technologies.

TRACKS

• Multiscale Modeling, Simulation and Characterization
• Innovative Processing and Manufacturing
• Nanotechnology and Structural Ceramics
• Multifunctional Materials and Systems
• Ceramics for Energy Systems
• Ceramics for Environmental Systems
• Biomaterials, Biotechnologies, and Bioinspired Materials

We anticipate strong participation of colleagues from cooperating societies, including CerSJ, KCerS, CCS, AusCerS, and other ceramic societies from around the world. ACerS Glass and Optical Materials Division (GOMD) will host its division meeting at PACRIM14.
