5th International Workshop on Materials and Design (MatDes 2023)

The 5th International Workshop on Materials and Design (MatDes 2023) covers topics such as:

• Micro- and nano-scale multi-physics phenomena, and the analysis structure, morphology, and the role of interfaces in relation to design at all scales, e.g. electrochemical energy storage, phase transformation and associated processes
• Processing of alloys and compounds for microstructure and property control, e.g. friction stir and severe plastic deformation
• Operando and in situ studies of processes and structural evolution
• Multifunctional materials, e.g. alloys, polymers and ceramics displaying shape memory effects, as well as bio-composites, composites of green or sustainable origin, and biomimetic materials
• Lightweight materials, e.g. alloys containing magnesium and lithium, as well as composites of all types of matrix (polymer, metal and ceramic) and reinforcement, including continuous and discontinuous fibres, low aspect ratio inclusions and nano-structured reinforcements
• Intelligent materials design to optimise performance, including hierarchical microstructural optimisation, self-healing, energy absorption, for durability, against damage and environmental extremes

The 5th International Workshop on Materials and Design (MatDes 2023) might be held in Mar 2023.
