Overview

Protection materials represent one of the most challenging materials to synthesize and process due to the extreme application requirements. The understanding of the various mechanisms & sciences behind materials’ behavior will contribute invaluably to the development of materials for protection applications.

This symposium provides a platform for academics, scientists, technologists and industrial players to present innovations, exchange views, share results and discuss opinions and thoughts in the field of advanced structural and functional materials for protection. Specifically, the symposium shall focus on materials for protection of civilians and soldiers against blast, fragmentation, unconventional attack, and also multi-functional materials for enhancement of soldier performance.

Topics

  • Novel synthesis, processing and applications
  • Micro and nano-structures
  • Development of materials evaluation techniques
  • Modeling, simulation and characterization
  • Smart materials for structural and/or functional management
  • Advanced sensors and devices
