Ceramic Nanocomposites are one of the most promising materials for an increasing number of future-oriented applications such as mirrors for earth observatory systems, knee and hip implants, coating powders for car and aerospace surfaces, …All these interesting applications are on the run in research and some of them are ready-to-use in industrial processes. But what is the background of these new “knowledge-based” materials? Which are the technological and scientific barriers to overcome in order to obtain added-value products? What synthesis, processing and up-scaling technologies are available right now and in the next future?.In the present training action on “Ceramic Nanocomposites” experts of the Consortium of the Integrated Project NANOKER will give answers to these and a lot of other questions related to the world of ceramic nanomaterials.This training action comprises 5 Modules:1. Materials, Process and Product Development Strategy, 2. Synthesis of Nanopowders, 3. Processing of Nanocomposites, 4. Properties of Nanocomposites, 5. Modeling and Simulation.It is aimed at young researchers and professionals being resident in one of the EU Member states, particularly persons with a degree in Chemistry, Physics, Metallurgy or Materials Science interested in acquiring specialized training in the development of nanostructured materials with applications in the fields of biomedicine, optics, and materials for use in extreme conditions as well as professionals from the relevant sectors and is free of charge for the selected participants.Deadline for applications: 9 November 2008.Further information is available on the IP NANOKER Website
