Advanced ceramics are widely applied in industry sectors, high-tech world and new industries. With annual growth rate of 8%, its market in China values hundreds of billions of CNY. In recent years, the acceleration of China’s high-end industries and new industries development, for example, advanced manufacturing, 5G communications, semiconductor equipment and chip packaging, 3D printing and new energy vehicles, has provided a huge marketplace for new ceramic materials & products while rapidly stimulating its research and industrialization process. In 2020, it’s expected that the advanced ceramic industry and market will have a huge growth mainly in 5G filter ceramics, ceramic substrates with high thermal conductivity and IGBT, high-performance ceramic powders, materials for 3D printing and more. A study shows that the domestic demand for 5G ceramic filters in 2020 will exceed 10 billion CNY, which brings unprecedented development opportunities to the research and application of advanced ceramic materials in China.

China's advanced ceramic material industry is currently going through a critical period of transformation and upgrading. In the face of old growth drivers being replaced with new ones and the rapid development of new industries, the solution to develop from low-end to high-end, and the approaches to seize opportunities and keep abreast of the latest development trends are the focus of researchers and entrepreneurs engaged in new materials & products, new processes and new technologies of ceramics. Under those background, the 2020 Shanghai International Summit on Advanced Ceramic Technology and Industry Development is organized and held. The forum will welcome academicians from Chinese Academy of Engineering, French Academy of Sciences, representatives from KYOCERA of Japan, Saint-Gobain of France, and some other well-known experts, professors and technical directors to make superb reports and share new technologies, processes, products, market and trends in the field of advanced ceramic materials.

3. Nine Major Topics

Topic 1

Preparation and Industrialization of 5G Communication Filter Ceramics

Ceramic dielectric filters have become the mainstream of 5G base station filters due to their excellent properties such as high dielectric constant, high Q value and low insertion loss. In 2020, Its global market is expected to reach 50 billion, therefore makes it an important topic of this forum.

Topic 2 

Synthesis and Preparation of High Performance Ceramic Powders and Their High-end Markets

Regarding the huge domestic and foreign demand as well as key technology for high-performance ceramic powders, the forum will introduce new technologies and processes for the synthesis and preparation of alumina, zirconia, silicon nitride, and aluminum nitride powders and their wide applications.

Topic 3

Development of Ceramic Substrates with High Thermal Conductivity and IGBT

With rapid development in recent years, Ceramic substrates with high thermal conductivity and IGBT are increasingly used in semiconductor chip packaging, communication electronics, new energy vehicles, robots, wind power generation and 5G base stations. Hence, relevant process technology and industrial development of ceramic powders with high thermal conductivity, ceramic substrates with high thermal conductivity and their copper-clad board, and IGBT power module are another important topic.

Topic 4

Progress in ceramic 3D / 4D Printing Technology and Applications

3D / 4D-printed ceramic materials and printing equipment have been through a rapid growth. The additive manufacturing technology has penetrated into biotechnology, artificial bone joints, power electronic devices, chemical microreactors, aerospace and other scientific and industrial fields. The new achievements and progress of ceramic 3D / 4D printing technology become the focus of attention of the forum.

Topic 5

Spray Granulation and New Hot Isostatic Pressing Technlogy of Ceramic Powders

Two factors that affect the uniformity of microstructure and material properties of ceramic molding body and sintered ceramic material are the properties of granulated powder and sintering process. In the past two years, the world's advanced hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technology has been applied to the preparation of ceramic materials such as high-end Al2O3, ZrO2 and Si3N4. Thus, it becomes a new topic of the forum.

Topic 6

Preparation Theory and Technology of High Performance Silicon Nitride and Silicon Carbide as Ceramic Materials

Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) and Silicon Carbide (SiC), the two covalently bonded ceramics with excellent properties, can function in semiconductor equipment, high-end machinery and equipment, automotive rail transportation, metallurgy and chemical industry, energy and environmental protection, aerospace and so forth. They are also used in the manufacturing of all kinds of precision ceramic bearings, bearing balls and seals that could be applied under harsh environments such as high temperature, corrosion and abrasion.

Topic 7

Progresses in Development and Application of High Temperature Ceramic Matrix Composites

High strength and high toughness ceramic matrix composites, represented by Carbon fiber / silicon carbide (Cf / SiC) and silicon carbide fiber / silicon carbide (SiCf / SiC), have been increasingly used in military and civilian high temperature fields such as aerospace and engines. The specially invited presentation will analyze and introduce the new progresses at home and abroad.

Topic 8

Ceramic Materials and Metallization Sealing Process for New Energy Vehicles

The industry of new energy vehicles has been developed rapidly in recent years, creating a new market for ceramic metallization products such as ceramic relays, which are widely used in the field.  

Topic 9

Key Technologies and Techniques for High-end Oxide Ceramic Products Preparation

The strong demand for high-end alumina (Al2O3) and zirconia (ZrO2) ceramic products internationally has highlighted the importance of forming, sintering and processing technologies of high-performance Al2O3, ZrO2 ceramic powders and their products.
