Book Of Abstracts of 4th Conference of The Serbian Society for Ceramic Materials (4CSCS-2017)
The goal of the Conference is to provide a platform for academic exchange among participants from universities, institutes, companies around the region in the field of ceramics research as well as to explore new direction for future development. 4CSCS-2017 aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results about all aspects of
Ceramic Materials. It also provides the premier inter-multi-trans-disciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns, practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted in the field of Ceramic Materials. We have received more about 100 abstracts submitted from 15 countries.
