Lower dimensional nanoceramic materials including 2D MXenes, transition metal dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron nitride, and their composite architectures have emerged as a class of functional materials driving transformative advances across the ceramics and materials science communities.
This symposium invites both established and early-career researchers at the forefront of lower dimensional nanoceramic science to present and critically discuss recent advances in understanding these foundational material relationships and their implications for targeted applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, novel synthetic routes and scalable processing of 2D and quasi-1D nanoceramic architectures; surface and interface chemistry in nanoceramic and composite systems; mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical property characterization across dimensional scales; and application-driven materials design for applications included but not limited to energy storage, structural reinforcement, electromagnetic shielding, and sensing platforms.
By convening diverse expertise across synthesis, characterization, modeling, and application development, this symposium seeks to catalyze cross-disciplinary dialogue that advances the rational, application-driven design of lower dimensional nanoceramics enabling the next generation of high-performance ceramic systems that are compositionally precise, structurally tailored, and functionally transformative.
Uniquely, we also plan for this symposium to host a distinct Emerging Professionals session, where early career professionals, defined as those who have received their PhD in the last 10 years, focused on nanoceramic materials will be specifically invited to speak and interact with other nanoceramic researchers in this space. This will be focused to foster growth and collaborations in this rapidly expanding research space. |
