Advanced inorganic fibre composites are enabling materials for a number of energy efficient and eco-friendly applications in aerospace, power generation, ground transportation, chemical, and nuclear energy applications. However, despite the considerable progress made in recent years in the fundamental understanding of inorganic fibre composites, a lot still remain to be done to fully utilize the excellent capabilities of these materials. A deeper insight of the mechanisms governing fibre composites behaviour in demanding situations, the development of reliable life prediction methodologies, design tools, and improved or innovative approaches to low cost manufacturing are among the many priorities for research and industry.
This symposium (which follows those on a similar subject held in 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, and 2010 in the framework of CIMTEC) will feature latest achievements in the basic physico-chemical principles of inorganic fibrous composite technology and processing science, bulk and interface characterization, property assessment, and fiber composite design and production. Modelling of properties and behaviour, and application engineering studies in severe thermomechanical and aggressive environments are among its scope, as well as exploiting factors affecting reliability and low cost processing.
Ceramic (Refractory, Glass, Glass-Ceramic) Matrix Composites (CMCs), Ultra High Temperature Ceramic Composites (UHTCCs), Carbon-Carbon (C/C) composites, and Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) are of great interest. In addition, new developments in the processing and manufacturing as well as characterization of reinforcements such as long and short fibres, filaments, nanofibers, nanotubes, and in-situ composites will also be covered.
