Traditional ceramics account for over 80% of the overall turnover of the ceramic industry on a global basis. Future expansion is also predicted on increasing demand from construction and domestic uses, driven by improved life standards and demographic growth.
Innovation in technology during the last decades has been a formidable key for growth. Manufacturing cycles underwent drastic changes with progressive quality optimization and development of brand new products and novel processes.
Along with a harsh international competition, the ceramic industry has now to face further challenges coming from increasing energy cost, demand for high performance and/or multifunctional products and contest with innovative composite systems in the building sector.
Purpose of this symposium is to focus interest on ongoing R&D activities aimed at promoting technical progress in wall and floor tiles, sanitaryware and tableware, bricks and roof tiles, ceramic technology and machinery, glazes and pigments, and raw materials. Matter will cover research work directed to improve our knowledge on the properties and behaviour of materials, ensuring quality, developing new products and implementing new technologies in ceramics manufacturing.

Session Topics
CN-1 Functionalized surfaces of silicate ceramics
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.
CN-2 Sustainability of silicate ceramics manufacturing
Incoming social and technological challanges compel a further reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emissions to get an overall improvement of efficiency in the manufacturing of silicate ceramics. This session will take stock of the situation on best available technologies and processing innovation in ceramic tiles, sanitaryware, glazes, pigments and clay bricks. A special focus will concern health and environmental issues (e.g., emissions, crystalline silica, green certificates) and all aspects of waste management/recycling in the silicate ceramics industry.
CN-3 New products and challanges for silicate ceramics
The ceramic industry has to take up the challanges regarding raw materials, construction systems and product innovation. This session will overview the transition from product to system in the construction sector and its feedback on the role and design of silicate ceramics. At the same time, the continuous growth in the global output of silicate ceramics is stressing availability and cost of raw materials: contributions reviewing critical industrial minerals and possible alternatives (including new body, glaze and pigment formulations) are expected.
CN-4 Managing the complexity of silicate ceramics
A turning point in product and process innovation is the capacity to manage the complexity of silicate ceramics from in-depth comprehension of ceramic processes and thoroughful characterization of ceramic products to prediction and modelling of performances and behaviours. A workshop will outline the ceramic factory of the future and the overall effects of the digitalization process from inkjet decoration to production controls. Contributions on modelling and detailed description of ceramic processes and products will be highly appreciated.
