Symposium Scope / Topics
Nanocomposites and hybrid materials with their heterogeneous structures that range from a few nm to 100 nm exhibit unique thermal mechanical, optical and electrical properties, and have been found many applications in aerospace, automotive, energy conversion and storage, infrastructure, maritime, health care technology and sport products. This symposium aims to gather researchers and industry professionals to exchange knowledge, showcase recent advances, and discuss future directions in the design, synthesis, processing, modeling and application of nanocomposites and hybrid materials. This symposium will cover the following topics:
- Nanoparticles synthesis, their surface modification, and interfacial interaction with matrices
- Applications of nanocomposites (energy, biomedical, electronic, optical, barrier, and structures, and other new applications.)
- Characterization of nanocomposite structure and constituent phases,
- Modelling of nanocomposites and interfaces,
- Fracture mechanics, and the performance of nanocomposite materials & devices
