The focus needs to be on science, and the \"smart\" has to be on emerging opportunities that will advance society in the long run. According to the NSF\'s website, its $7.5 billion annual budget supports about one-fourth of basic science research conducted at United Statesbased universities and colleges through about 12,000 new awards per year. That sounds like a lot of science, but the budget divides into seven research directorates and several \"management and overhead\" buckets. Thirty-two divisions reside under those seven research directorates, and those divisions break down further into discipline-specific programs. The Directorate for Mathematical & Physical Sciences\' Division of Materials Research (DMR)—which hosts the Ceramics Program-recently funded a workshop that looked into the minds of leading researchers in the U.S. and abroad. Caltech professor Katherine Faber organized the two-and-a-half-day workshop to identify emerging opportunities in ceramics and glass science. She worked with an organizing committee of Jennifer Lewis (Harvard University), Clive Randall (Pennsylvania State University), and Greg Rohrer (Carnegie Mellon University). About 45 scientists presented the latest work in the field, challenges they are addressing, and, most importantly, why it matters in the context of scientific trends and society\'s compelling grand challenges. Most attendees hailed from academia, although organizers were careful to balance experience levels. Perspectives from national laboratories and industry also were represented—the latter being especially important for providing \"rubber meets the road\" perspectives. Organizers also reached beyond the obvious community and invited experts outside the field working in \"nearby\" research areas, such as a mineral physicist and a solid-state chemist. The first day-and-a-half comprised of Michael Alexander, Director 2014-2017 Geoff Brennecka, Director 2014-2017 Manoj Choudhary, Director 2015-2018 Doreen Edwards, Director 2016-2019 Dana Goski, Director 2016-2019 Martin Harmer, Director 2015-2018 Hua-Tay (H.T.)

All feature articles are covered in Current Contents. www.ceramics.org | American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 95, No. 9 Credit: ACerS presentations arranged in five challenges: • Advanced processing. Where can we go with advances in additive manufacturing? What new synthesis opportunities do polymer-derived ceramics offer? What does new science into low-temperature, pressurized sintering imply? • Defect-enabled phenomena. What advantages do imperfect materials offer? Can “designer defects\" lead to new functionality? • Low-dimensional phenomena. Can properties of 2-D materials be tuned? Can we learn to process them with advanced methods, such as 3-D printing? Can surfaces be designed for catalysis, switching, or other functions?

Faber says, \"The workshop has provided us with valuable assessments of where knowledge gaps exist in ceramic and glass science. These will form the basis of our emerging opportunities report and ultimately inspire researchers with a host of challenges to tackle.\" Putting it another way, Faber encouraged participants to seek “overarching ideas that provide a framework for individual contributions.\" The output from the workshop will be an open-access article that will detail these opportunities, challenges that they present, and cross-cutting themes (for example, modeling and dataset management). Watch for that to publish in early 2017. Apple releases new iPhone 7 and ceramic Watch Apple recently unveiled the latest iteration of its tech products, debuting the new iPhone 7 and Series 2 Watches. And the rumors were true-the new iPhone 7 drastically ditched the headphone jack to make room for a stereo set of speakers to improve audio quality. New iPhone users now have to make the move to wireless headphones or use a lightning port headphone adapter. As with virtually every other smartphone iteration, the new iPhone 7 also boasts a better-than-ever battery and an improved camera, including new dual wide angle and telephoto lenses on the iPhone 7 Plus. The iPhone 7 has a new processor that runs twice as fast as the iPhone 6, and comes in a shiny new jet black finish as well as the more standard matte finishes. But, its materials remain largely unchanged-the body case of the new phone is aluminum. So, as expected, consumers have to wait until next year to see if glass gets its chance in the iPhone 8. American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 95, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org 3 Onews & trends The new Apple Watch Edition features a white ceramic case. Apple, instead, made its big materials news this time around with the new Apple Watch Series 2-the special Edition version of the watch is now allwhite and all-ceramic. Credit: Apple The new ceramic Edition watch replaces the previous expensive gold one-which contained ceramics in the gold mix-that started at a steep price of $10,000. The new all-ceramic Series 2 Edition, however, starts at just $1,249. Although that remains a hefty price tag, it may be a relatively small price to pay for the peace of mind of not having to worry about scratches on the new smartwatch. Apple boasts that the alumina-zirconia ceramic in its new Watch is four times as hard as stainless steel, which many previous Apple Watch wearers have complained about because of its relative scratchability. About a year ago, Ceramic Tech Today reported on Apple\'s patent for making harder ceramics. That patent detailed the company\'s vacuum-based method for making ceramics from a slurry containing zirconia particles. Although it is not certain that the patent details the same process used to make the new ceramic Apple Watch, it does not seem like much of a stretch. The patented method reduces porosity by using a vacuum to remove air bubbles from the ceramic slurry. Pores are a problem because they are one factor that can introduce weaknesses in the materi4 als by serving as starting points for crack formation. So, removing bubbles in the slurry creates a harder ceramic. According to the company, \"The process of creating the Apple Watch Edition case begins with a high-strength zirconia powder that\'s combined with alumina to achieve its rich, white color. Each case then is compression molded, sintered, and polished using a diamond slurry, which results in a remarkably smooth surface and an exquisite shine.\" Catch a glimpse of the latest releases in a short Apple preview video at youtu.be/GeoUELDgyM4. ICG Summer School 2016 draws strong international turnout for intensive glass course Editor\'s note: This story comes to us from the International Commission on Glass. For more information on ICG or its educational programs, contact J.M. Parker, University of Sheffield (U.K.) at j.m.parker@sheffield.ac.uk. The 8th International Commission on Glass Summer School program took place in July in Montpellier, France, and it drew a strong turnout-36 participants from 10 countries gathered for the program\'s intensive glass course. Twentyeight of those participants signed up for the glass science educational track and eight for glass technology. The program combined formal lectures with student presentations, which gave participants a chance to share their research interests and aspirations. Students engaged in project work and tutorials and researched on site. Six of the lecturers arranged small group discussions to address student questions and topics of interest. Students also had the opportunity to network during various coffee breaks and lunches and during an opening welcome party and closing banquet. On day one of the program, participants attended the same introductory courses, and the seven project groups included attendees from the glass science educational and glass technology tracks. Student feedback gathered during and after the program commented on friendliness of the lecturers and high quality of their teaching. The last day of the program gave students the opportunity to demonstrate their lecturing skills and present conclusions on their projects in front of their peers. Final presentations also facilitated discussion and probing questions about research done during the course of the program. Presentations were judged, and two first prizes were awarded: one to a group that examined mechanisms of sodiumion diffusion and the involvement of nonbridging oxygen (Helene Pablo, Luka Pavic, Celine Ragoen, Alessio Zandona, and Abdul Rahshidi); and the other to a group tasked with creating a project for a ICG Summer School 2016 participants get ready to dive into some serious glass research in Montpellier, France, in July. www.ceramics.org | American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 95, No. 9 Credit: Amazfit final year undergraduate student on glass melting (Vickie Falk Jensen, Miroslava Huyjova, So Sakurai, Damier Bolore, Frederik Van Hoof, and Ana Aznar). Third place went to the big EGO company, based on an Environmental Glass Organization, set up to win a large international prize by solving a major social issue (Thorben Welter, Laura AaltaSetala, Julian Moriceau, Ben Allsopp, and Philipe Kiefer). Another ICG summer school program is already scheduled for July 2017 and will feature sessions focused on glass science and the use of computer modeling in glass science and technology.

Panasonic debuts OLEDembedded transparent-glass TV Television has come a long way since it first started broadcasting moving images into households almost a century ago. But, TV is going to new places-and, if Panasonic is any prognosticator, TV receivers of the future will be almost invisible in our homes. The electronics giant recently unveiled its latest concept of an invisible TV that seamlessly blends into a house\'s décor. When off, the new TV looks no different from an ordinary panel of glass-but when switched on, it provides a bright display that is almost indistinguishable from that of a conventional TV. According to an Engadget article, the new invisible TV is a glass panel with an embedded mesh OLED screen, offering up unprecedented picture quality when turned on yet ultratransparency when off. A video from Panasonic showing off the tech company\'s latest concepts is available at youtu.be/eoIQmWd8LTQ. Wearable tech company Amazfit debuts ceramic wearable activity tracker Wearable tech company Amazfit recently debuted its simple ceramic activ ity tracker in the United States market— and at a retail price of $79.99, it provides a more affordable ceramic option than the new Apple Watch. Akin to the Misfit brand, Amazfit\'s tech design is aimed toward individuals who want an activity tracker “disguised as a fashion accessory,\" as Amazfit describes. Amazfit\'s wearables consist of a donutshaped zirconium oxide ceramic casing that houses its \"new-generation ADI sensors\" and a small-yet-mighty battery that boasts 10 days of life from a single charge. According to the press release, the ceramic casing \"undergoes 30 manufac turing procedures\" before being polished to a shiny wearable. \"Its hardness is Credit: Panasonic Newsroom; YouTube Amazfit is a wearable tech company that is debuting new fashionable ceramic activity trackers. second only to diamond and sapphire, creating a long-lasting, luminescent, and strong surface.\" Amazfit\'s website further details that the zirconium oxide material is fired at 2,642°F. The ceramic makes the tracker tough and waterproof, yet lightweight—it weighs in at just 0.5 oz. Amazfit launched as a U.S. wearable tech company in 2016, although its tech is not new-the company is owned by larger global wearable tech manufacturer Huami. Huami is a leading global wearable tech provider that partners with Xiamoi, a company that has had marked success with economical activity trackers in Asian markets. \"After selling more than 24 million activity trackers in China through our partnership with Xiaomi, we\'re excited to further expand our success into the U.S. market,\" Frederik Hermann, who leads Amazfit\'s U.S. marketing and sales, says in a recent press release.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) usually publishes its World Economic Outlook twice a year, representing a survey of staff economists\' analyses of global economic developments. The outlook report published in October 2016 indicates subpar global growth of 3.1% in 2016, with a slight increase of 3.4% predicted for 2017.¹ \"Taken as a whole, the world economy has moved sideways,” IMF chief economist and economic counsellor Maurice Obstfeld says in the report. \"We have slightly marked down 2016 growth prospects for advanced economies whereas marking up those in the rest of the world.\" Stagnation in the U.S. market, uncertainty following the United Kingdom\'s exit from the European Union, and slow growth in Japan\'s leading economy are all contributing to this subpar market growth. But, despite the lackluster performance of those advanced markets, emerging markets are expected to pick up some of the worldwide slack with an overall 4.6% growth rate. China\'s economy is expected to expand 6.6% in 2016 and 6.2% in 2017, showing signs of slowing as the country shifts away from investment and industry and, instead, moves toward more sustainable reliance on consumption and services, according to the IMF. In addition, India is expected to continue to grow at one of the fastest paces for major world economies, with more mixed economic predictions in Africa and Latin America. 10 The he ceramic and glass industry cuts a wide swath across industries producing commodity products, such as brick, tile, and glass containers; to components, such as fasteners, multilayer capacitors, and armor; to highly engineered products, such as optical fibers, medical devices, jet engine components, and display glass for consumer electronics. The spectrum of applications along the way is densely packed. Analysts categorize \"the ceramic industry\" into advanced technical ceramics and traditional ceramics (Figure 1). However, those in the industry recognize that the \"traditional\" industries, such as refractories and glass, produce highly engineered, innovative products that arguably qualify as advanced technical ceramics. Specifically, the global advanced technical ceramic market was valued at $56.70 billion in 2015, according to a June 2016 analysis conducted by Grand View Research that looked internationally at product, application, and end-use projections through 2024.2 The report covers markets for alumina, titanate, zirconate, and ferrite components (among other ceramic materials) in monolithic ceramics, ceramic coatings, and ceramic-matrix composites for electronic, automobile, machinery, environmental technologies, and medical applications. \"Numerous players are expected to increase their R&D expenditure to comply with growing demand from new applications, and most companies have been trying to improve their operations at a reduced cost, which in turn is expected to boost product market over the next eight years,\" the report states. Another recent report from BCC Research estimates that the North American market alone for advanced technical ceramics was $4.5 billion in 2015 and projects it will grow to $6.7 billion by 2020, a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% for the five-year span. Figure 2 shows how several sectors of the market are expected to contribute to the projected growth.³ The aerospace industry provides an illustration of how an industry drives significant revenues across its supply chain, including ceramics. According to one report, global sales of gas-turbine engines in 2015 www.ceramics.org | American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 95, No. 9 Advanced/technical ceramics Ceramic industry Traditional ceramics Bioceramics $4.5B Defense Bioceramics - Electroceramics - Structural ceramics - Optoceramics - Coatings · Other (e.g., ceramics for nuclear applications Figure 1. Typical categorization of the ceramic industry. reached about $39 billion. Projecting out to 2028, domestic and military aircraft are estimated to generate sales of $1.07 trillion through 2028.4 Protective coatings-thermal barriers and environmental barriers-comprise one critical component of gas-turbine engines that use ceramic materials. The global ceramic coatings market, which includes aircraft applications, is estimated to reach $9.07 billion in 2020,5 with about $1.9 billion contributed by the North American market. Also, GE-Safran\'s much-anticipated LEAP engine with a 3-D-built ceramic-matrix composite component was introduced in fall 2016. GE\'s website says the company already has booked more than 6,000 orders valued in excess of $78 billion.? In the future, new processes, such as additive manufacturing and polymerderived ceramics, will lead to novel materials and novel forms. The projected market for 3-D-printed ceramic components of $131.5 million by 2021 reflects an industry continuing to learn how to use the technology. However, this projection represents a 29.6% CAGR, evidence of optimism in the industry for great opportunity.8 Function will follow form as applications emerge for monolithic, composite, porous, fiber, or coating form factors. Newly established events and initiatives dedicated to furthering technological advances in functional ceramics have gained traction over the past few years, drawing attention to the field and industry growth. Now in its third year, Ceramics Expo has secured its place as - Refractories - Glass - Structural clay products - Whitewares - Abrasives the annual event in North America that brings together companies and organizations that produce and rely on ceramic technologies. The American Ceramic Society also created The Ceramic and Glass Industry Foundation in 2014 to attract, inspire, and train the next generation of ceramic and glass professionals. These factors signal a vibrant industry, but what specifically is driving growth and what will the future bring? The following profile examines industry indicators in the United States, including employment and output projections, manufacturing trends, and current priorities for the federal budget in FY 2017 when it comes to clean energy, emerging technologies, and transportation. The profile also looks at two specific ceramic sectors and reports recent revenue for some of the industry\'s heaviest hitters. Broader industry indicators signal mildly optimistic manufacturing forecast The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) is a worldwide professional supply management organization that provides economic indicators through its monthly publication, Report on Business. Based on a survey of manufacturing supply executives across a variety of industries, the report provides a general measure of the state of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries in the U.S., quantified as a Purchasing Manager\'s Index (PMI). Although the figures are U.S.-centric, global manufacturers follow PMI scores, because they provide a snapshot of the American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 95, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org Credit: Gagliardi $0.935B Bearings and wear resistance $0.752B Energy and high-temperature components $0.263B Figure 2. Market segments expected to contribute to growth of the North American advanced technical ceramic market. Projected market values by 2020.3 overall economy and of the status of segmented industries. According to ISM, PMI scores \"have been consistently accurate in indicating the direction of the overall economy in addition to the manufacturing and nonmanufacturing sectors. .\" Scores are provided as a percentage-scores greater than 50% indicate expansion, whereas scores less than 50% signal contraction. ISM\'s most recent manufacturing PMI registered 51.5% in September 2016, with reported growth in seven separate industries, including nonmetallic mineral products. 10 Average PMI during the past 12 months is 50.3%, and average PMI during the past four years is 52.9% (Figure 3). ISM indicates that consistent PMI scores greater than 43.2% indicate overall economic expansion-by that measure, the latest score is the 88th consecutive month of expansion in the manufacturing sector, according to ISM. To complement the ISM PMI scores, the U.S. Department of Labor\'s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) tracks and publicly releases detailed economic information related to the U.S. labor market. This data-rich source of information provides overall and individual snapshots of metrics detailing employment and productivity for individual sectors, which can signal the overall health of those industries. Data come from the BLS Current Employment Statistics survey, which includes approximately 146,000 businesses and government agencies representing all 50 states. 11 Ceramics and glass-Materials for diverse industries 60 60 PMI (%) Ng 20 30 40 50 10 0 June 2014 August 2012 February 2013 October 2012 December 2012 April 2013 June 2013 August 2013 February 2014 April 2014 October 2013 December 2013 December 2014 February 2015 April 2015 June 2015 August 2015 October 2015 December 2015 February 2016 April 2016 June 2016 August 2016 August 2014 October 2014 Figure 3.

The goodsproducing sector is divided into mining, construction, and manufacturing. BLS issues biennial data projections by industry, identifying sectors according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) (see sidebar, page 21). According to statistics published in the December 2015 Monthly Labor Review, there is tempered optimism for the future: \"With this set of biennial 10-year projections, the BLS presents a view of an economy that is returning to a more consistent growth path, but the growth is slower than the long-term trends that existed prior to the Great Recession.\"12 output, with nonresidential investments finally getting back on track to surpass prerecession numbers by 2024. Employment and output statistics for 2004-2014 and projections for 2014-2024 for the mining, construction, and manufacturing industries are shown in Table 1. Slow employment growth in mining is largely caused by uncertainty regarding future oil prices-increased horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and offshore exploration are expected to contribute to the increase in mining output. Overall, BLS predicts total U.S. employment will reach 160.3 million by 2024, representing a 0.6% CAGR. Productivity projections predict that overall U.S. output will reach $34.6 trillion in 2024, a 2.2% average annual increase from 2014 figures. Output has increased on average 1.0% annually from 2004 to 2014. BLS further breaks its employment and output statistics into four main areas: goods-producing sectors (excluding Manufacturing jobs are projected to decline, but manufacturing output is expected to grow from 2014 to 2024. How can that be? According to the report, \"Although manufacturing employment is projected to fall, real output in the manufacturing sector is expected to grow 1.9% annually to reach almost $6.6 billion in 2024, up from more than $5.4 billion in 2014. ... Increased productivity-because of automation, contract manufacturing, and a more efficient manufacturing process in most industries-will lead to more real output with fewer employees required.\" The construction industry is predicted to add the most jobs to the goods-producing sector from 2014 to 2024, but will not reach prerecession levels, the report notes. Construction output, like construction employment, is expected to be fastest growing within the goods-producing sectors, with a growth rate that outpaces overall economic growth. Growth in residential and nonresidential investments is expected to contribute to the heightened Table 1. BLS data on annual rates of change in employment and output for goods-producing sectors¹² Annual rate of change Annual rate of change in employment, in employment, 2004-2014 2014-2024 Mining 4.9% 0.9% Construction -1.3% 1.2% Manufacturing -1.6% -0.7% Annual rate of change Annual rate of change in output, 2004-2014 in output, 2014-2024 2.1% 1.9% -3.0% 2.8% 0.7% 1.9% In addition to the decrease in available skilled manufacturing jobs, the remaining jobs are shifting focus. Although this shift introduces challenges for skilled laborers, the changes could signal new growth opportunities for the manufacturing sector. The report continues, \"Over the past few decades, manufacturing plants have become more automated, thus requiring skills that are more technical. For example, computer programmers and coders are needed by manufacturers, as are people to design and run the machines.\" The manufacturing division within the goods-producing sectors is further www.ceramics.org | American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 95, No. 9 12 350,000 300,000 divided into specific manufacturing industries, again following NAICS Code designations. NAICS code 327, manufacturing of nonmetallic mineral products, covers much of our industry\'s outputs (see sidebar for more information). Nonmetallic mineral product manufacturing Manufacturing of nonmetallic mineral products experienced an annual decline of 1.3% in output from 2004 to 2014, but is expected to grow at a rate of 1.8% from 2014 to 2024. All four divisions within this category-clay product and refractories; glass and glass products; cement and concrete products; and lime, gypsum, and other products-are expected to increase output from 2014 to 2024, with the greatest gain in cement and concrete product manufacturing at a 2.5% annual rate of change. The U.S. Census Bureau\'s Annual Survey of Manufactures provides estimated statistics for U.S. manufacturing establishments based on a sample survey of approximately 50,000 establishments selected from the most recent Economic Census. 13 The most recent survey from 2014 provides, among much more data, statistics on the total value of products shipped, broken down by NAICS codes. Total value of shipments of nonmetallic mineral products overall grew 26% from 2010 to 2014. Values of clay products and refractories shipments increased 15%; glass and glass products increased 20%; cement and concrete products increased 25%; and lime, gypsum, and other products increased 45% (Figure 4). Manufacturing in selected end-use industries Typically ceramic and glass materials are used in complex systems, such as automobiles or buildings, or are used to manufacture other goods. Refractories are an example of the latter. Thus, trends in end-use industries can have important implications for ceramic and glass industry sectors. What follows are indicators for few key industries-not a comprehensive list of end-use industries-that utilize a large proportion of ceramic and glass materials. Manufacturing of computer and Total value of shipments (million $) 250,000 200,000 150,000 100,000 50,000 0 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Household appliances Semiconductors and other electronic components Motor vehicles Aerospace products and parts -Medical equipment and supplies Figure 4. Total value of products shipped during 2010-2014 for NAICS code 327, manufacturing of nonmetallic mineral products. Data are from the U.S. Census Bureau\'s most recent Annual Survey of Manufactures.13 electronic products (NAICS code 334) experienced an annual increase of 2.6% in output from 2004 to 2014 and is expected to continue to grow at that rate from 2014 to 2024. Manufacturing of electrical equipment, appliances, and components (NAICS Code 335) experienced a decline of 0.7% in output from 2004 to 2014 and is expected to grow at a rate of 2.1% from 2014 to 2024. Manufacturing of transportation equipment (NAICS Code 336) experienced an increase of 1.9% in output from 2004 to 2014 and is expected to grow at a rate of 1.3% from 2014 to 2024. Manufacturing of miscellaneous products (NAICS Code 339) experienced an annual growth of 3.3% in output from 2004 to 2014 and is expected to continue to grow at that rate from 2014 to 2024. Manufacturing of medical equipment and supplies, which includes orthopedic devices and dental prosthetics, falls within this catch-all category and is expected to grow at an annual rate of 3.3% from 2014 to 2014, slowing from a growth rate of 5.6% from 2004 to 2014. Data on total shipments for each of these categories during the past five years can be found in Figure 5. Sales data provide a sense of scale for the industry Although general manufacturing and industry trends provide a broader context, such high-level metrics also can American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 95, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org gloss over more nuanced trends within a particular sector, and many metrics and indexes exist to measure industry and business health. Here we focus on sales data for select companies to provide a sense of the scale of industry contributing to the sectors\' overall commerce. Care should be taken to not over-interpret these data. For example, sales data at most companies reflect revenues from sales of more than ceramic and glass products. Also, sales data exclude the cost of doing business and similar considerations. Data sources and its timeliness are noted in the tables. Most data are from Mergent Intellect, formerly known as Dun & Bradstreet\'s Million Dollar Database and company websites. Table 2 presents sales data and market drivers for select ceramic and glass manufacturing companies. Large companies, such as GE and 3M, are as much end users as suppliers, and their highly diversified product portfolios generate massive revenues. However, the table also shows the broad range of contributors to the industry\'s commerce. Even small companies like Du-Co Ceramics and Superior Technical Ceramics are multi-million dollar enterprises. In addition, we highlight two industries, each broad in its own right-electroceramics and refractories. The summaries that follow provide a snapshot glimpse of the sectors, their corporate composition, and the industry\'s drivers. 13 Ceramics and glass-Materials for diverse industries Total value of shipments (million $) 60,000 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 0 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Clay product and refractory manufacturing Glass and glass product manufacturing Cement and concrete product manufacturing Lime, gypsum, and other product manufacturing Figure 5.

Arguably, batteries and energy conversion devices, such as fuel cells, could be included in this category, but those sectors are excluded for this profile even though some companies also produce energy conversion and storage technologies. The number of components manufactured is staggering-one report estimates Chinese manufacturers made 1.98 trillion multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), which fell short of meeting an estimated demand for more than 2 trillion MLCCS in 2015 in China alone. 14 Market research analysts value the ceramic capaci tor global market at $7-$10 billion in 201515 and the piezoelectric market at more than $20 billion in 2015.16 Note that the piezoelectric market includes piezoceramics as well as polymer- and composite-based devices. The market for spark plugs, an insulation application, is expected to climb to $2.8 billion in value by 2019 at a CAGR of 5.26%.17 Table 3 summarizes sales and key business drivers for select companies in the sector. Sales data show the top three companies-all Japan-based-generate revenues of $5-$10 billion yearly. Samsung Electro-Mechanics is gaining on its next competitor, TDK, and is reported to have passed it in MLCC sales since 2009.14 The business drivers for these largest companies-Kyocera, Murata, TDK, and Samsung—come from applications in telecommunications, automobiles, sensors, industrial equipment, electronic devices, and medical technology. Several major brands are owned by larger companies. For example, TDK owns EPCOS, and Kyocera owns AVX and its subsidiary American Technical Ceramics. Murata Manufacturing Company (Kyoto, Japan) provides an example of the magnitude of the business in this sector. Murata dominates the MLCC market with a 22.8% share in 2015 according to a Research and Markets report. 14 Sales data (Figure 6) from the company\'s 2015 annual report show how products within its portfolio have generated increasing revenues during a five-year span. 18 Other companies listed in Table 3 report significant revenues-sales in the www.ceramics.org | American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 95, No. 9 Table 2.

Business drivers for these \"smaller\" companies include semiconductor and electronic devices, electric power, automotives, sensors, telecommunications, and defense. Refractories It has been said that if you are in the refractories business, you are in the steel business. The iron and steel industry consumes about 60% of global refractory production, with the rest serving the glass, cement, nonferrous, energy, and petrochemicals industries (Figure 7).19 16 The combined refractories and clay building materials industry generates revenues and has a consolidated supplier base that suggest a delayed response to the Great Recession. Figure 8 compares 10-year trends for revenues and the number of companies operating under NAICS code 327120, \"clay building material and refractories manufacturing.\" At the industry\'s peak in 2009, 317 companies operated in this sphere and generated almost $95 billion in sales, according to Gale Business Insights database. 20 By 2013, the number of active companies dropped to 80 worldwide, with annual global revenues of almost $14 billion. Data from 2014 appear to point to the beginning of a recovery for the industry, although further consolidation looks imminent with the merger between RHI and Magnesita to form RHI Magnesita.21 The deal-announced October 5, 2016-will be effective in 2017 if approved by government regulating agencies. The new company would be based in The Netherlands. The global impact of the Great Recession, however, is only part of the story. Advances in refractories engineering have led to increased efficiency and www.ceramics.org | American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 95, No. 9 Table 4. Refractory consumption rates per ton of steel 20 longer furnace campaigns for steelmaking. To illustrate, in a 2014 ACerS Bulletin article, Charles Semler reported refractory consumption from 1950 to 2010 dropped from 61 kg/(ton steel) to 15 kg/(ton steel)—some steel plants even achieved extreme efficiencies of 7-8 kg/(ton steel). 22 Trends in refractory engineering include an increase in the use of unshaped monolithic refractories over brick and improved castables, along with improved shotcasting and gunning processes. Nonetheless, overall consumption of refractories by the iron and steel industry is increasing (Table 4). As the high-volume carbon-steelproducing industry gains efficiency, longer-lasting refractories means slower turnover for refractory producers. In contrast, alloyed steels and other highquality materials drive development of refractories engineered to specific needs. In a recent paper, Buhr et al. 23 note that more than 2,000 grades of steel are on the market-each with properties engineered for specific applications. These steel operations call for refractories engineered for high-performance in critical areas, such as ladle linings, purge plugs, and sliding gates. New technologies in refractory engineering also push industry innovation.

Other companies generate revenues in the hundreds of millions. Interestingly, a fair number of smaller companies produce revenues in the tens of millions. The market also supports smaller companies (not listed) that post revenues less than $10 million per year. R&D top priority in FY 2017: Renewable energy and emerging technologies Glass 7% Cement 8% ferrous metals Nonprocessing 10% Energy and petrochemicals 15% Beyond output, employment, and sales data, another important measure of the health and trajectory of an industry is the amount of money diverted to R&D. The National Science Foundation (NSF) tracks business R&D expenditure data with its Business Research and Development and Innovation Survey (BRDIS). BRDIS provides data on domestic and global R&D expenditures at for-profit businesses based on a survey conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau in accordance with NSF\'s National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics. Iron and steel 60% Figure 7. Major industries that consume global refractory production.19 The latest report, issued this year, details statistics from 2013.

In addition to R&D dollars spent within industry, government allocation of federal R&D spending is another metric to examine the health of particular sectors. On September 30, 2016, the United States Congress passed a continuing resolution through December 9 to delay definitive FY 2017 spending decisions until after the November presidential election.25 The Obama Administration released its R&D budget proposal for FY 2017 in February, highlighting the need to prioritize funds to further clean energy and climate initiatives. However, increased spending did not span all science-related programs. Agencies including NSF received limited discretionary increases, and the plan recommends that billions of dollars be slashed from National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) budgets. Staring down the barrel of the current appropriations cycle, President Obama and Congress did not have much fiscal latitude. In its recent budget analysis, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) 26 reports in a recent FY 2017 appropriation summary that \"discretionary spending-the part of the budget adjusted annually by appropriators, and the source of most federal science funding— was slated to be held flat at $1.07 trillion, under the second and final year of the Bipartisan Budget Act.\" Science and technology agencies currently face an uncertain budgetary future while Congress hashes out federal spending details from now through the end of the year. Although the financial outlook appears hazy, AAAS reports that with a \"complete set of twelve appropriations bills already through committee, and appropriators\' decisions so far will factor into omnibus negotiations later.\" But, according to the latest AAAS estimates, the House Nonmetallic mineral product manufacturing 1,578 Mining 4,449 Medical equipment and supplies manufacturing Motor vehicle manufacturing Aerospace product and parts manufacturing Semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturing 13,456 23,605 29,331 40,609 0 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000 Worldwide R&D (million $) Figure 9. Dollars spent on R&D at worldwide businesses in 2013. Data are from the 2013 Business Research and Development and Innovation Survey. and Senate would provide moderate increases to federal R&D overall in FY 2017-the House would provide a $3.1 billion or 2.1% increase for R&D above FY 2016 levels, while the Senate would provide a $4.7 billion or 3.2% increase. Both amounts would represent real-dollar increases given at a 1.8% rate of inflationwhich would actually outpace spending levels outlined in Obama\'s budget proposal. Table 6 presents a high-level two-year snapshot of funding for some of the largest science agencies from FY 2015 to FY 2017, including the numbers proposed in Obama\'s FY 2017 R&D budget, according to AAAS. 27 Clean energy and environmental research get top billing. This includes the Department of Energy\'s programs. Obama\'s budget plan requests $16.8 billion for clean energy research and renewable energy programs-the highest increase in federal R&D spending-up 15.07% from FY 2016. Interior and environment R&D spending, which includes the Environmental Protection Agency\'s programs and initiatives, comes in second with a request for $2.1 billion-up 5.0% from FY 2016. More money for national defense also is a priority. This includes the Department of Defense (DOD) science and technology initiatives. The Obama administration requests $73.6 billion for DOD science and technology R&D in FY 2017-up 1.9% from FY 2016. Labor, health, and human services, and education could take a hit. This Table 6. Federal R&D funding for science and health programs (including agencies) FY 2015-FY 2017 snapshot (current AAAS estimates of budget) Department/agency FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 actual (billion $) estimates Obama request Change FY 2016-FY 2017 Billion $ % (billion $) (billion $) 2.0 2.2 15.07 2.0 2.1 0.1 5.0 20 Energy and water Includes DOE 14.5 14.6 16.8 Interior and environment Includes EPA Defense Includes DOD Science & Technology 66.4 72.2 73.6 1.4 1.9 Labor/HHS/Education Includes NIH Commerce/justice/science Includes NSF, NASA, ARPA-E, and NIST 19.0 21.4 20.3 -1.1 -5.14 American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 95, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org 30.4 32.2 31.3 -1.0 -2.8 19 Ceramics and glass-Materials for diverse industries includes NIH programs. Obama\'s budget plan requests $31.3 billion for labor, health, and education initiatives-down 2.8% from FY 2016. Broad cutbacks could be imminent for commerce, justice, and science. This includes programs within the NSF, NASA, Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), and National Institute of Standards and Technology. Obama\'s budget plan requests $20.3 billion for R&D in these areas-down 5.14% from FY 2016. According to a fact sheet published in February by the White House, 28 Obama\'s budget proposal specifically includes $512 million for NSF research in conversion, storage, and distribution of diverse power sources and the science and engineering of energy materials. In July, NSF announced it will invest more than $400 million over the next seven years to support fundamental wireless research to develop platforms for advanced wireless research in support the White House\'s Advanced Wireless Research Initiative.29 of Obama\'s budget proposal also requests $350 million in Mission Innovation discretionary funding for DOE\'s ARPA-E, which supports transformational applied clean energy R&D across a wide array of technologies; and $348 million for clean energy research at NASA in revolutionary aircraft technologies and configurations to facilitate development of fuel-efficient, low-carbon-emitting aircraft. Of course, these numbers are not set in stone. Congress will likely increase R&D spending in fiscal 2017 before year\'s end, according to AAAS. And Congress is on track to increase federal spending for R&D by at least $3.1 billion in FY 2017 over the previous year, despite the fact that overall federal discretionary spending is slated to remain relatively flat, according to the latest AAAS analysis of federal spending programs.

American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 95, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org 21 ceramics expo Cleveland, OH 22 Advancing the use and adoption of technical ceramic and glass materials and technologies By Adam Moore T \"he third annual Ceramics Expo returns to Cleveland, Ohio, April 25-27, 2017, for the ultimate performance—a freeto-attend exhibition of everything new in the world of manufacturing and engineering for ceramic technologies and materials. Following rapid industry developments in various user segments, Ceramics Expo 2017 again will be setting the agenda as the progressive hub for the industry. \"We see a resurgence of interest in ceramics, and the Cleveland show is growing strongly and creating a real buzz in the industry,\" says Alan Rae, a veteran in the field of technical ceramics and current executive director of IncubatorWorks (Corning, N.Y.), which nurtures the development of entrepreneurial companies. “Once again, there is a great venue to meet with colleagues and new contacts in the ceramic industry.\" Ceramics Expo exhibitors will reveal all the burgeoning technologies behind novel, high-performance, precisely engineered components that are proving invaluable in many manufacturing sectors. The exhibition will present a wide offering, with everything from raw materials, preparation and processing equipment, advanced forming technologies, drying and conditioning, and energy-efficient firing and sintering to technical ceramic components, refractories, finishing, testing and analysis, and logistics. In particular, this established, dynamic, and all-inclusive event aims to expand the knowledge base for senior executives, production controllers, quality managers, design engineers, materials scientists, and researchers. Ceramics Expo directly caters to the needs of key end-user industries, such as automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, defense, energy, and environmental technologies. Technical ceramics play a central role throughout the exhibit space, and many of the world\'s leading manufacturers are already preparing for groundbreaking presentations—including names such as CoorsTek, Morgan Advanced Materials, Saint-Gobain, AOKEROLA, CeramTec, www.ceramics.org | American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 95, No. 9 Save the date April 25-27, 2017! YJC, McDanel Advanced Ceramic Technologies, Corning, Blasch, Akron Porcelain, Materion Ceramics, and IPS Ceramics. The whole gamut of ceramic and glass materials, from alumina to zirconia, will be featured, and visitors will find a smart materials solution for myriad complex applications—or someone very keen to come up with one! For example, sponsor and exhibitor Morgan Advanced Materials (Berkshire, United Kingdom) has modified one of its innovative core processes to optimize microstructural control and enable enhanced machining. Morgan has reimagined its popular soft and hard piezoelectric ceramic materials to create highdensity variants, which comprise grain sizes of 2-4 μm and pore diameters of less than 3 μm. Florence Godfrin, materials and applications engineer for Morgan, comments on the importance of this material innovation: \"Like many of our material innovations, our defect-free PZT is a direct result of a real customer need, initiated back in 2013 when we were tasked with producing a PZT product that had high density and low porosity. From there, we used the same core manufacturing process to develop and research other material improvements across our soft and hard piezoelectric ceramics.\" \"The distinct characteristics of this new PZT material offer improved machinability and increased mechanical strength over conventional materials. This is especially beneficial for actuator applications, in which our finegrained, defect-free PZT can deliver improved reliability, higher driving fields, and lower driving voltages,\" Godfrin says. \"At this stage, we have manufactured a number of different small which components using the new defectfree material, with a number of larger products set to benefit from the innovation in due course will increase piezoelectric properties as well as coupling of the parts to deliver real benefits in sonar and high-power applications.\" Entering the exhibition hall, Ceramics Expo visitors will see the Coors Tek (Golden, Colo.) exhibit, which is set to showcase a unique range of products and solutions. CoorsTek recently announced a new process using a novel ceramic membrane to make direct, non-oxidative conversion of a gas to liquids possible for the first time-reducing cost, eliminating multiple process steps, and avoiding carbon dioxide emissions. The resulting aromatic precursors are source chemicals for insulation materials, plastics, textiles, and jet fuel, among other valuable products. Direct activation of methane, the main component of biogas and natural gas, has been a key goal of the hydrocarbon research community for decades. \"Consider the scale of the oil, gas, and petrochemicals industry today,\" says Jose Serra, professor with Instituto de Tecnología Química in Valencia, Spain, and leader of one of the scientific teams working alongside CoorsTek Membrane Sciences. \"With new ceramic membrane reactors to make fuels and chemicals from natural gas instead of crude oil, the whole hydrocarbon value chain can become significantly less expensive, cleaner, and leaner.\" \"By using a ceramic membrane that simultaneously removes hydrogen and injects oxygen, we have been able to make liquid hydrocarbons directly from methane in a one-step process. As a bonus, the process also generates a high-purity hydrogen stream as a byproduct,\" Serra explains. \"At a macro level it is really very simple inexpensive, abundant gas goes in and valuable liquid comes out through a clean, inexpensive process. At a nanochemistry level, however, where molecules interact with catalyst and membrane at a temperature around 700°C, there were many factors to engineer and control in order to render just the specific molecules needed to make the new process work.\" Blasch Precision Ceramics (Albany, N.Y.), returning for the third year, recently launched Verkapse, a turnkey solution consisting of polyurethane-encased ceramic for American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 95, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org 23 C ceramics expo Save the date April 25-27, 2017! applications involving hydrocyclone separators and other mineralprocessing equipment.

Jeroen Deijkers Guest columnist Oxidation in thermal/ environmental barrier coatings-A selfhealing paradox? When considering self-healing materials, the first material that comes to mind is a polymer. Polymers\' intrinsic healing capabilities and the ease of combining polymers with extrinsic healing methods have been a focus of materials research for many years. But what about selfhealing in other materials? One of the main applications of selfhealing materials is to heal cracking, which is a prevalent problem in ceramic materials, such as thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) used in turbine engines. Thermal cycling eventually results in delamination of TBCs, limiting the lifetime of these coatings. Ceramics do not have the intrinsic healing capabilities of polymers. So, recovering bonds in ceramics usually requires high temperatures and long times. Developing self-healing capabilities in ceramics could, therefore, greatly benefit these materials and their high-temperature applications. During my M.Sc. studies at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, I was attracted to the concept of self-healing zirconia-based TBCs. For my thesis, I incorporated extrinsic self-healing to TBCs by adding small hollow Al2O3 shells filled with MoSi,. Upon breaking of the shells, MoSi, reacts with air to form SiO2. This oxidation causes volume expansion, filling the crack with more product than the initially supplied reactant. My interest in developing these types of high-temperature materials led me to a graduate student position at the University of Virginia (Charlottesville, Va.). The curious engineer in me gladly accepted an offer to work on coating systems to protect silicon carbide composites. In silicon carbide coating systems, the silicon bond coat oxidizes to SiO2 (a/ẞ-cristobalite). In this case, however, oxidation is detrimental, because it forms a thermally grown oxide with a high coefficient of thermal expansion, and the thermal stresses generated by the oxide crack the coating. So, oxidation can be self-healing in some cases, but self-destructive in other situations. Because of these conflicting functions, should self-healing be designated as a material property or should it be defined as a concept to say that a material is designed to have an extended lifetime? I think the latter is true. Oxidation of the silicon bond coat in barrier coatings cannot be avoided, but we can attempt to extend the life of the coating by adding another material to heal cracks that form during thermal cycling. Currently, adding HfO2 to silicon seems to be a viable self-healing concept. When silicon oxidizes to SiO2, it quickly reacts to a stable form of HfSiO. This material has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is similar to other materials in the coating and substrate, and, when it reacts with the nonpreferential α-cristobalite, it eliminates high thermal stresses. Also, if a crack forms in the coating perpendicular to the coating surface and reaches the silicon bond coat, SiO2 will form first, followed by formation of stable HfSiO4. This reaction stops cracking and creates an oxygen barrier between the incoming gas flow and underlying substrate. Using self-healing as a materials concept can allow us to use traditional material I systems that we would initially discard because of their short lifespans and, instead, allow us to think of new designs and material composites to obtain our desired goals. It may seem to be a paradox, but an initial weakness may end up giving us a more durable product. Jeroen Deijkers is a Ph.D. student in materials science and engineering at the University of Virginia and is working on the next generation of environmental barrier coatings. Combining his current studies with his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in aerospace engineering, Deijkers aims to develop novel materials for aircraft and spacecraft in the growing aerospace industry. In his spare time, he enjoys exploring the natural beauty of America—a contrast to the flat, windy, Dutch countryside he grew up in.
