Industry is looking with increasing interest at technologies able to provide additional properties to ceramic surfaces, turning them self-cleaning, bacteriostatic, antielectrostatic, stain-resistant or providing high reflectance, controlled grip, wear resistance, magnetic shielding, etc. Industrial applications need further knowledge on factors affecting surface processing and technology scale-up to large surfaces and complex shapes. A workshop will discuss open questions on durability and efficiency of functionalized ceramic surfaces. Contributions to testing procedures of multifunctional silicate ceramics and their standardization are welcome.
