7th International Samsonov conference "Materials science of refractory compounds" (MSRC)

Kyiv, Ukraine

General information

Frantsevich Ukrainian Materials Research Society (UMRS), Frantsevich Institute for Problems of Materials Science (IPMS) and National Technical University «Igor Sikorsky Кyiv Polytechnic Institute» (KPI) regularly, every two years, organize a conference on materials science of refractory compounds and materials. The conference bears the name of an outstanding scientist Grigoryi V. Samsonov, one of the founders of materials science of advanced refractory carbides, nitrides, borides, silicides etc. Over 400 refractory compounds were synthesized and extensively characterized under his supervision and described in 36 books. Out of this knowledge, industrial technologies of these compounds were developed and commercialized.

Refractory materials operate under extreme conditions such as high temperatures and pressures, aggressive chemical and radiation media and are widely used in many industrial fields. Recently, 1D and 2D unusual forms of refractory compounds have been discovered and attract significant scientific interest. The conference will focus on discussion of the advances in fundamental understanding and application of refractory materials.
