OBJECTIVES
Ceramics materials are linked to the ancient human civilization when the early men could make earthen pots from clay. Starting from that humble beginning, ceramic materials have become one of the most fascinating materials in the world with its application areas reaching in space. During the last four decades, ceramic materials and composites have also caused a major revolution in the medical science by improving the quality of human life through the use of artificial bone, eye, dental fixtures etc. Tailor made synthetic ceramic parts not only serve as an additional support but also as an internal prosthetics, which when integrated into the human system, fully perform the function of the skeletal materials they replace. These special classes of tailor made bio ceramic materials perform specific biological / functional / chemical activities in living systems. Treatment procedures through reconstructive surgery have resulted in marked improvement in the quality of life of a rehabilitated person.
Depending on the implant-host response the bio ceramic materials can be bioinert, bioactive or bioresorbable Till date, the focused research and development on bioceramics is being carried out only in a limited number of research laboratories and academic institutions and less so at other places.
The present situation thus calls for close and collaborative interactions, dissemination of knowledge, deliberations and exchange of ideas on the different mon platform for a fruitful discussion aspects of bioceramic, research, the medical and the ethical aspects of this material's application etc. The present conference thus aims to provide a common platform for a fruitful discussion and sharing of ideas among various groups of researchers, and medical professionals actively involved in the research, development and application of different bio ceramic materials.
 
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
Although started in 1994, within this short time the Department of Ceramic Engineering has established it self as one of the centres of excellence for both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in Ceramic Engineering as well as for research programmes in the field of traditional and advanced ceramics. The faculty members are young, dynamic and they are well qualified and trained for carrying out active research in the field of bio-materials, advanced refractories, nano science and technology, electronic materials, etc. The department has already established its research capability in different areas and awarded with various prestigious projects from DST, CSIR, UGC, MOEF, etc. It has also linkages and active collaboration with different industries in India. The students as well as research scholars of the department also avail the opportunity through collaborative projects, short term visits to the industries etc.
