Why are the threads for the conference coming together at TU Darmstadt?
Functional ceramics have been a focus of material science research at the TU Darmstadt for over 20 years, which is one of the leading international institutions in this field. At TU Darmstadt, more than ten working groups conduct research in materials science, chemistry, and electrical engineering and information technology with electroceramic materials. For example, work on the manufacture of lead-free materials is a world leader. The basics for this were inCollaborative
What relevance does the topic of electroceramics have?
The applications of electroceramics include, for example, energy conversion, transmission and storage, microelectronics, communication and medical technology as well as sensor technology. Around one billion ceramic multilayer capacitors are produced every year, several hundred of which are found in every modern mobile phone. Fuel cells, Li-ion batteries, ultrasonic transmitters, frequency filters or surge arresters are inconceivable without the diverse properties of electroceramics.
The conference program includes several keynotes and scientific lectures. What research results will be presented during the conference? What debates can we expect?
Research on electrical ceramics makes key contributions to safeguarding the future by increasing energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gases, conserving resources and avoiding toxic components. What is essential for this is an understanding of the relationships between the composition and structure of the materials and their properties, as well as the development of new manufacturing processes, about which a comprehensive exchange takes place at the conference. In addition, the connections between the various disciplines, future applications and the differences between real and online conferences will be highlighted in three panel discussions.
