| Scope |
‘Smart’ materials and systems sense and respond to their environment and have applications in areas as diverse as health, defence and packaging. This symposium will have great scope for authors to cover various topics including applications.
Smart Materials and Micro&Nano System will cover the following:
• Functional and Multifunctional Materials
• Micro-fabrication technologies
• Novel product designs, micro-assembly technologies, and micro-handling
• Surface engineering and interface nanotechnology
• Process modelling and simulation
• Processing and characterisation of smart materials, multifunctional materials, nano-materials, and material
• Micro and nano additive manufacturing technologies
• Applications of micro and nanotechnologies
Shape Memory Materials will include the following:
• Design and development of shape memory alloys
• New concepts on the design of shape memory alloys
• New concepts on the design of shape memory polymeric materials
• New Concepts on the development of shape memory and/or superelastic materials
• Novel shape memory alloys (SMA)
• Novel shape memory polymers (SMP)
• Novel shape memory or superelastic ceramics
• Novel shape-memory based composites designed for specific applications
• New trends in production technologies, as for instance shape memory materials produced by Additive Manufacturing
• New trends in shape memory applications for emerging technologies
• New trends in shape memory materials at small scale, SMEMS |
