Book of Abstracts / 8th Conference of The Serbian Society for Ceramic Materials, 8CSCS-2025

On behalf of the organizers and the organizing committee of the 8th Conference of the Serbian Society for Ceramic Materials (8CSCS-2025), it is my great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all attendees. We are delighted to host you in Belgrade for this important gathering. The conference is organized by the Serbian Society for Ceramic Materials, in collaboration with the Institute for Multidisciplinary Research – University of Belgrade, Institute of Physics – University of Belgrade, Center of Excellence for the Synthesis, Processing and Characterization of Materials for Use in Extreme Conditions – “CEXTREME LAB”, Institute of Nuclear Sciences “Vinča” – University of Belgrade, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering – University of Belgrade, Center of Excellence for Green Technologies, and the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy – University of Belgrade. The primary aim of 8CSCS-2025 is to serve as a platform for academic and professional exchange in the field of ceramic materials. This conference brings together researchers, scholars, and professionals from universities, institutes, and industries across the region and beyond, encouraging the discussion of novel ideas and directions in ceramic materials research. This year, we are proud to have received 86 abstracts from researchers representing 15 countries, reflecting the growing global interest in ceramic materials. The program features three plenary lectures, 22 invited talks, and 61 oral and poster presentations. Covered topics include ceramic powders, characterization and processing; computing in materials science; high temperature phenomena, sintering, microstructure design and mechanical properties; ceramic composites, membranes and multimaterials; materials for environmental technology; traditional ceramics and engineering materials; advanced materials for energy-related applications; materials for sensing devices; catalytic materials; electro and magnetic ceramics. We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia. Special thanks go to the organizers, session chairs, presenters, exhibitors, and all participants for your contributions and enthusiastic engagement. We hope that your time in Belgrade will be both professionally rewarding and personally enjoyable. I look forward to meeting you and engaging in fruitful discussions throughout the conference.
