HT-CMC 7
September 20 - 22, 2010 Bayreuth, Bavaria, Germany

After the Conference

350 participants originating from 21 countries represented a record success for the
HT-CMC series. As well, 16 exhibitors enjoyed a most lively interest for their range
of new and challenging products. For the Conference Chairmen, Prof Walter Krenkel
and his French colleague Dr Jacques Lamon, HT-CMC 7 marked the breakthrough
of this material class for downstream applications in the transportation and energy
industry being so far limited to aerospace and related fields.

The focus was on ceramic and carbon matrix composites. More than 250 technical
papers were presented in four parallel sessions preceded by two plenary papers
that opened each day. In a comprehensive poster session, all posters were briefly
introduced. The papers covered all aspects of production, processing and testing of
this new materials class as well as the current development status of related High-
Temperature Materials as MAX-Phases and UHTC. There has been a clear shift
of emphasis from processing issues to modeling/simulation and microstructure/
properties correlation. According to many representatives of the International
Advisory Board, this reflects that the CMCs are reaching maturity. Most of the papers
have been published in a proceedings volume that can be ordered from Ceramic
Materials Engineering, University of Bayreuth (petra.jelitschek@uni-bayreuth.de).

The broad materials science orientation of the University of Bayreuth outlined a most
attractive frame for this 7th conference of the series. The next event HT-CMC 8 will
take place in 2013 in Xian, Peoples Republic of China.
