The IX International Samsonov Conference “MATERIALS SCIENCE OF REFRACTORY COMPOUNDS” (MSRC-2024) was held from May 27 to 30, 2024, in Kyiv, Ukraine. It provided a platform for in-depth discussions in the field of materials science.
The scientific event was traditionally organized by the Frantsevich Ukrainian Materials Research Society (UMRS), the Frantsevich Institute for Problems of Materials Science of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (IPMS), and the National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" (KPI). It took place in IPMS, but international participants could join the conference online.
The inauguration was highlighted by the ceremony to present the prestigious awards of the Frantsevich Ukrainian Materials Research Society. The honorees were Tamara Velikanova, who received the V. Skorokhod award; Valery Kublanovsky, who received the G. Samsonov award; and Mykhailo Turchanin, who received the O. Andrievska award.
More than 140 participants attended the conference, presenting over 100 scientific reports. Participants from Ukraine, the USA, Georgia, Germany, India, the UK, Spain, and Poland discussed their achievements in developing, researching, and applying refractory compounds and materials.
Participants presented reports on the following topics:
- Synthesis and Properties
- Low-Dimensional Materials and Nanostructures
- Ceramics and Composites
- Films and Coatings
A special feature of the MSRC-2024 was a memory session dedicated to an outstanding scientist, Valeriy Skorokhod.
MSRC-2024 was held with the support of sponsors (TD TEK-Ukraine LLC, Macrolab LTD) and conference partners (Kyiv Academic University, Academ.City, BOOSTalent).
