This topic underpins synthesis of, and in many cases manufacturing of, value-added materials via liquid phase processing. Materials and processes range from cast metals and optical glasses through exploration-relevant technologies such as additive manufacturing, casting and in-situ resource utilization to support human space exploration. A recurring theme is the need for accurate thermophysical property and atomic structure data for relevant materials and the exploitation of reduced convection/sedimentation in microgravity to enhance the quality of data and to develop new and transformative technologies for materials processing.
