Details:

The organizing committee would like to welcome you and invites you to participate in the International Conference "Advanced Processing of Novel Functional Materials - APNFM 2008" held at the International Congress Centre Dresden. The conference will be a forum for researcher and applicants of inorganic functional materials and the processes of their production.

The program consisting of two parallel sessions will address the latest developments in the fields of engineering inorganic functional materials in terms of fundamental understanding, technological issues and industrial applications through invited speakers and poster sessions.

Topics

The Technical Program for APNFM 2008 will cover all aspects of the production and processing of novel functional materials and particulate processing technologies through a program of plenary presentations and reviews. These will focus on topics of all kinds of production methods for ultra-fine grained materials or functional materials in appreciable amounts: Preparation of nanopowders, Rapid solidification, Nanopowder consolidation, Sintering (incl. Spark Plasma Sintering and Microwave sintering), Mechanical Alloying, Shock compaction, Severe plastic deformation

  • New processing concepts

  • Characterization techniques

  • Diamond Tools, Cemented carbides, Cermets

  • Thermoelectrics, Piezoelectrics, Magnetic Materials

  • Nanostructured and Ultra-fine-grained Materials, Nanocomposites, Catalysts, Materials for thermal management, Electrical / Electronic Materials, Hydrogen Storage Materials
