Advanced Refractories and Traditional Ceramics

The aim of this symposium is to provide a forum to exchange research ideas about state-of-the-art refractories and traditional ceramics, and their perspectives or emerging applications, such as furnace lining, energy saving materials, infrared radiating coating, low emission burner, and antique restoration. The topics will focus on the fundamental issues to advance our understanding, the utilization of advanced refractories and traditional ceramics for applications in the fields of iron and steel, cement, glass, nonferrous, and ancient construction maintenance, and 3D-printing construction.
