Mini-Symposium on Flash Sintering in Boulder, August 7-8th 2018
Mini-Symposium on Flash Sintering to Celebrate Marco Cologna’s Original Contribution: An Emphasis on In-Situ Methods and Interpretation
August 7-8, 2018;
Location: University Memorial Center(UMC) 415 (1669 Euclid Ave, Boulder, CO 80309)
Since Marco Cologna’s seminal paper in 2010, flash sintering has expanded, drawing interest from many laboratories around the world. The phenomena has been shown to be surprisingly general and mechanistically complex, and in its scientific interpretation, highly interdisciplinary. In addition to sintering, the flash experiments reveal unusual phase transformations. Indeed “reactive flash sintering” refers to concurrent phase transformation and sintering. Most notable have been recent results from in-situ experiments at Synchrotrons. These results will be the highlight of this mini-Symposium.
