Symposium D7. Smart Materials
Organizers:
| Prof. Chuan-Pu Liu | National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan |
| Prof. Ruey-Chi Wang | National University of Kaohsiung, Taiwan |
| Dr. Tzer-Shen Lin | Industry Technology Research Institute, Taiwan |
Scope:
In order to enable the next generation technologies, we demand smart materials that can be given with properties in more actively responsive to their environmental changes in a controllable fashion by external stimuli. Smart materials are capable of providing more functions and characteristics by design, such as self-healing, self-cleaning, multi-functional materials, and interfacing with humans. This field has rapidly grown at its high impact, therefore, the purpose of this symposium is to establish a platform for world experts in basic sciences and applications to profoundly discuss the latest breakthroughs in smart materials. This symposium aims to cover a broad spectrum of synthesis and properties of smart materials, including but not limited to nanomaterials, optoelectronic materials, piezoelectric materials, magnetostrictive & electrostrictive materials, thermoelectric materials, adaptive materials, phase change materials as well as their applications for energy, environmental sensing, automation, and smart home etc.
Topics:
- Synthesis and characteristics of smart nanomaterials
- Synthesis and characteristics of smart optoelectronic materials
- Synthesis and characteristics of piezoelectric materials
- Synthesis and characteristics of magnetostrictive and electrostrictive materials
