1998 Gordon Research Conferences on Solid State Ceramics, Meriden, NH, August 2-6, 1998

鉴于利用加工-微观结构-性能关系设计和操纵陶瓷材料的最新进展，1998年戈登固体陶瓷研究会议的主题是“定制陶瓷-加工-微观结构-性能关系的基本挑战”。1998年GRC的目标是双重的。首先，探索加工-微观结构-属性关系的现状，以此作为确定缺失内容的手段。问题是探索我们在什么层次上理解加工，微观结构和性质。会议的第二个目标是探讨全谱技术陶瓷（如铁电体和光学陶瓷）的基础科学进展和需求。虽然属性是由不同的物理学建立的，但基本的处理-微观结构-属性主题是相似的。总体目标是探索这些共同的主题，发现新的机会，发展协同作用和交叉施肥领域。在1998年戈登固体陶瓷研究会议上，受邀演讲者将以“定制陶瓷-加工中的基本挑战-微观结构-性能关系”为主题，回答关于定制陶瓷的哪些科学问题仍然突出的问题。分配时间来充分探讨演讲者和听众的想法和观点。通过这种方式，与会者将深入探讨技术陶瓷领域的现状，这将使我们能够预测需要哪些类型的研究才能在设计和生产定制陶瓷方面取得重大进展。* * *

9810588 Storm In light of recent progress in the design and manipulation ceramic materials using processing-microstructure-property relations, the theme of the 1998 Gordon Research Conference on Solid State Studies in Ceramics is "Tailored Ceramics- Fundamental Challenges in Processing-Microstructure-Property Relations." The goals of the GRC in 1998 are two-fold. First, to explore the current status of processing-microstructureproperty relations as a means of determining what is missing. The problem is to explore at what level of interrogation do we understand processing, microstructure and properties. The second goal of the meeting is to explore basic science advances and needs over the full spectrum of technical ceramics like ferroelectrics and optical ceramics. Although properties are established by different physics, the underlying processing-microstructureproperty themes are similar. The overall goal is to explore these common themes, discover new opportunities, develop synergy and to cross-fertilize the fields. %%% The invited speakers at the 1998 Gordon Research Conference on Solid State Studies in Ceramics on "Tailored Ceramics- Fundamental Challenges in Processing- Microstructure- Property Relations" will be challenged to answer the question of what scientific questions are still outstanding in regards to tailoring ceramics. Time is allotted to fully explore the thoughts and visions of the speakers and the audience. In this manner the conferees will explore in depth the current status of the technical ceramics field which will allow us to project what type of research is needed to make significant progress in designing and producing tailored ceramics. ***
