ADVANCED MATERIALS

Developments of new materials and improving the existing materials, to obtain better characteristics, are essential for emerging technologies and it have always been main focus of the researchers. It is evident by innumerable publications appearing in scientific journals on Advancement in Materials and their applications every year.

The Advanced Materials track of 20th IBCAST provides opportunities to scientists and engineers to share their knowledge, work and ideas about materials, their properties, behavior and applications.

The scope of this track includes following areas:

• Polymers, their Processing and Modifications
• Polymeric Matrices and Adhesives for Composites
• High Performance fibers, their Processing & Applications in Composites
• Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials
