A three-day ‘International Seminar on High Temperature Materials (ISHT-09)’ was held during February 23-25, 2009 at Department of Mechanical Engineering, Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University.

The seminar provided a rare common platform for the Scientists, Teachers, Research Scholars and Students of this field to exchange their views and innovative ideas and know about what is happening in the field elsewhere. New ideas and themes emerged out of the deliberations which attracted the attention of scientific world. Large number of delegates from all over the world participated in the great endeavour.

Prof. V.K. Srivastava was the Chairman for the Seminar which focused on recent developments in areas of interfacial behavior, computational modeling, electrochemistry, thermochemistry, kinetics etc. of high temperature materials and also on specific type of materials such as for fuel cell applications, nanomaterials, sensors, MEMS, ultra-high temperature materials etc. Since advances in these areas rely heavily on experimental and computational insight into the atomic and mesoscale processes that occur at high temperatures, the seminar proved out to be enlightening for the present delegates.

The mission of ISHT-09 was to stimulate education, research, publication and exchange of information related to both Science and Technology of high temperature materials including ceramics, metals, alloys and composites. Numerous oral presentations, poster presentations and key note lectures were delivered by delegates in ISHT-09.

Introduction:

High temperature phenomena are important during the fabrication and implementation of a variety of advanced materials. This Conference focuses on recent developments in general research areas (interfacial behavior, computational modeling, electrochemistry, thermochemistry, and kinetics), and also on specific types of materials at the forefront of current research (fuel cells, nanomaterials, sensors, MEMS, and ultra-high temperature materials). Many recent advances in these areas rely on improved experimental and computational insight into the atomic and mesoscale processes that occur at high temperatures.

The conference will facilitate discussion on the latest trends in the entire gamut of high temperature materials. The deliberations will certainly be helping researchers for embarking upon newer aspect design and development of various types of materials.
