MRS Workshop Explores the Diversity of 3D Multifunctional Ceramic Composites

Abstract

The MRS Workshop on Three-Dimensional Multifunctional Ceramic Composites was held at the Beckman Institute on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) October 3-5, 2005. Organized by Paul V. Braun of UIUC, C. Jeffrey Brinker of the University of New Mexico and Sandia National Laboratories, and Shanhui Fan of Stanford University, the workshop reached an audience of about 100 attendees from academic institutions, government laboratories, and private industry. The scientific and technical underpinnings of self-assembly and properties of self-assembled 3D ceramic, composite and semiconductor structures were emphasized. The technical program consisted of invited presentations from renowned experts, along with selected contributed presentations, posters, and hands-on tutorials given by expert faculty. The topics explored included new developments in 3D photonic crystals, chemical and biological sensors, nanoparticle assemblies, rapid fabrication techniques, active membranes, 3D holographic patterning, and modeling and theory of 3D optical devices.
