Materials

RESEARCH SUMMARY :

The group is working on a common proposal related to the following 2011-topic: Research and innovation for advanced multifunctional ceramic materials. The scope is to ensure a large participation of ceramic companies working in the field of materials with high added values, so-called technical or advanced ceramics. The Consortium is looking for 5 SME’s.

The 3rd International Conference on Recent Advances in Composite Materials (ICRACM-3) will be held in ENSIL - University of Limoges and ENSCI, France, from Monday, December 13 to Wednesday, December 15, 2010.

It follows highly successful previous conferences in this series ICRACM-2004 held at BHU, Varanasi (India 2004), ICRACM-2007 held at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi (India-2007). ICRACM-2010 aims at bringing together academicians and researchers in various disciplines to share knowledge and exchange views, for useful industrial applications of composite materials.

The conference will facilitate discussion on the latest trends in the entire gamut of composite materials. The deliberations will certainly be helping researchers for embarking upon newer aspects design and development of various types of composites.

The conference will broadly cover the following topics: Polymer matrix composites, Ceramic matrix composites, Carbon matrix composites, Wood based composites, Bio composites, Eco composites, Nano composites, Processing, Properties, Fracture and damage mechanics, Multi scale modelling, Durability, Recycling, Repairability.
