非技术摘要2022年6月，超高温陶瓷：用于极端环境应用的材料V会议将科学家和工程师社区聚集在德克萨斯州的雪鸟。会议重点讨论了超高温陶瓷(UHTC)工艺、表征和性能的最新进展。鉴于对这一领域重新产生的兴趣，这次会议对陶瓷科学界来说是非常及时和相关的，并在研究传播和促进科学合作方面发挥了重要作用。它为初级科学家和工程师融入该领域提供了理想的环境。材料研究部陶瓷项目的支持使其能够支持最多五名研究生、博士后研究员或职业生涯早期的个人。技术摘要超高温陶瓷(UHTCs)--包括过渡金属碳化物、氮化物和硼化物--是一种化合物家族，具有一系列独特的性质，包括极高的熔化温度(3000℃)。C)硬度高，高温下具有良好的化学稳定性和强度。这些性能的结合使这些材料成为各种高温结构应用的候选材料，包括发动机、高速车辆、等离子弧电极、切割工具和先进的核燃料用途。会议的重点是UHTC的科学地位和领先专家分享他们的发展的能力，这将确保新想法的延续和培育合作，这些合作在这一类别中提供了独特的进步，对于满足极端环境中对材料的要求更加相关。旅行奖用于使毕业生、博士后和/或早期专业人员，特别是那些来自STEM人口统计数据不足的人，参加会议。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Non-technical abstractThe “Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics: Materials for Extreme Environment Applications V” conference bring together the community of scientist and engineers in Snowbird, UT, in June 2022. The conference is focused on discussing state-of-the-art in ultrahigh temperature ceramic (UHTC) processing, characterization and properties. Given the renewed interest in this field the meeting is very timely and relevant to the ceramics scientific community and plays an important role of research dissemination and fostering scientific collaboration. It provides an ideal environment for junior scientists and engineers to become integrated into the field. Support from the Ceramics Program in the Division of Materials Research enables supporting up to five individuals that are either graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, or early career individuals. Particular attention to supporting individuals from groups that are historically underrepresented in the STEM disciplines is achieved through this travel participant/registration award.Technical abstractUltra-High Temperature Ceramics (UHTCs) - which includes transition metal carbides, nitrides, and borides - are a family of compounds that display a unique set of properties, including extremely high melting temperatures (3000 deg. C), high hardness and good chemical stability and strength at high temperatures. The combination of properties makes these materials candidates for a variety of high-temperature structural applications, including engines, high-speed vehicles, plasma arc electrodes, cutting tools, and advanced nuclear fuel usages. The conference’s focus on the scientific status of UHTC and the ability for leading experts to share their developments will ensure a continuation of new ideas and nurture collaborations that provide distinct advancements in a class that are ever more relevant to meet the demands placed on materials in extreme environments. The travel award is used to enable graduate, post docs, and/or early professionals, particularly those from underrepresented demographics in STEM, to participate in the conference.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
