The 8th International Symposium on Functional Materials (ISFM 2018)

The symposium accounts for the tremendous growth of the field of Advanced Functional Materials in recent years.

The symposium accounts for the tremendous growth of the field of Advanced Functional Materials in recent years. Various advanced and multifunctional devices have been developed and manufactured which stimulate design of novel devices that fully make use of the functionalities of different types of materials. ISFM 2018 aims to promote fundamental and advanced research work in the fields of solid-state physics, materials chemistry, nano-science and engineering with applications in the branches of solar cells, fuel-cells, electrolyzers, batteries, sensors, multi-ferroic devices, magneto-optics, thermoelectrics, shape-memory materials, as well as many other related advanced functional materials.
Objective of ISFM 2018 is to provide academia and industry a platform to exchange recent advances in the fields of functional materials. The aim of ISFM 2018 is to enable and foster discussion and exchange of cutting edge ideas between fundamental science and engineering aspects in the interdisciplinary domain of material science. ISFM 2018 hence attempts to share the latest innovations, advances, and future multidisciplinary research and development of functional materials with primary focus on the connection between fundamental science and engineering applications. ISFM 2018 also provides an opportunity for promoting mutual research activities by establishing fruitful research and business relationships, as well as to enable information dissemination and exchange. The symposium will also provide a platform for researchers to find global partners for future collaboration on advanced, state-of-the-art functional materials research.

The 8th ISFM covers but is not limited to the following Conference Topics:

New Materials for Energy Harvesting, Storage and Conversion

Optical, Electronic, Magnetic Materials

Memory Materials

Smart and Intelligent Materials

Composite and Hybrid Materials

Micro- and Nano-Architectured Materials

Thin Film Materials

Ceramic and Glass-Ceramic Materials

Environmental friendly Materials

Polymeric Materials

Advanced Methods for In-Situ / In-Operando Characterization of Functional Materials

Advanced Methods for Online Analytics of Functional Materials

A large number of participants that include scientists, engineers, educators and students from all over the world will be joining this event. Particular focus is given to students, who will benefit from a dedicated Tutorial on Advanced In-Situ and In-Operando Characterization in the field of functional materials, as well as from Lab-Visits to State-of-the-Art Research Infrastructures at RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich.
