Official Information:

The scientific sessions will include many new and developing areas of materials research as well as some well-established and popular topics:

Topics in the electronic and optical materials symposia include amorphous and polycrystalline silicon thin films, molecular and organic electronics, chemical and mechanical planarization, multiferroics, high-throughput synthesis, as well as topics important to the integrated circuit community including junctions, memories, gate stacks, interconnects, and packaging. Symposia on energy and the environment will highlight recent advances in photovoltaics and water purification, as well as materials for energy generation, conversion, and storage. Nanoscale heat transport, nanocrystals, nanowires, nanocomposites, metamaterials, spintronics, as well as characterization techniques at the nanoscale, will be featured in nanomaterials and devices symposia. Structure-property relations, architectured materials, hierarchical synthesis, active polymers, stretchable electronics, and lab-on-the-chip applications will be explored in symposia on soft matter, biological and bio-inspired materials.
