About ICPMAT
The International Conference on the Physical Properties and Application of Advanced Materials (ICPMAT) stands as a premier annual forum for the global materials science and physics community. Established in 2006 through the collaborative efforts of Shanghai University, the University of Toyama, and the Japan Institute of Metals, ICPMAT consistently focuses on fundamental and applied research in advanced materials, encompassing raw, structural, and functional materials, as well as advanced characterization techniques and computational materials science. The conference's core mission is to explore these topics, foster community cohesion, encourage discerning discussions, and promote new collaborations.
Topics
- Structural Materials
- Advanced Materials Characterization Techniques and Instrumentations
- Materials Processing and Engineering
- Computational Materials Science
- Other Topics Related to Materials and Nanotechnology
