Electric Field Enhanced Processing of Advanced Materials III: Complexities and Opportunities Conference
Abstract
Abstract # Approved for Public Release#Electric Field Enhanced Processing of Advanced III : Complexities and Opportunities."The community stands at cross-roads. The remarkable speed of sintering and phase transformations in complex material-systems with electrical currents, and with high heating rates, have been shown to have great generality. Now, the future lies in (i) basic understanding of these remarkable phenomena, and (ii) their evolution towards application and commercialization. The Conference Chair believes thatnew science and engineering springs from diverse approaches. Results that lie at the fringe can become the springboard for innovation. Therefore, the conference welcomes presentation of ideas that come from different directions, from adjacent fields such as physics, electrochemistry, and artificial intelligence: ideas that are "controversial" and thought provoking. The Conference invites submissions related to materials synthesis with electrical fields and currents, as well as high heating rates. Topics include but are not limited to: (i) Various materials including ceramics, composites and metals including new materials that are far from equilibrium.(ii) Applications towards functional ceramics, lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells, high entropy oxides, biomedical applications including dental restoration and implants, and graphene related materials.State of the art methods for characterization with X-rays, electron beams, optical and neutron beams are welcome. Theoretical calculations of defect physics and electronic structure that shedlight on the mechanisms of field enhanced methods are encouraged. The Conference will allow ample time for open discussion of the latest developments (for example touch-free flash sintering). The organizers seek to explore advances in basic science, and real-lifeapplications. We hope that new ideas for manufacturing will emerge from discussions during the Conference.
