We are organizing the symposium on " Nanoarchitectured and Morphology-controlled Nanoporous Materials" at the next TMS meeting to be held in San Antonio Texas from March 10- March 14, 2019. This is a gentle note to remind you that the deadline for abstract submission has been extended to July 16th. Please consider submitting to this symposium and encourage your students and colleagues to contribute.

Below is a description of the focus of this symposium.

Nanoarchitectured materials, such as nanoporous solids, nanolattices, and nanoporous membranes, have received large attention due to their unique structural and functional properties including high strength, stiffness, radiation and fatigue resistance as well as thermal stability. These materials often offer large surface area and low density that makes them attractive for applications including energy harvesting and storage, fuel cells, Li–ion batteries, hydrogen storage, catalysis, gas purification, and separation technologies. The properties and applications of nanoarchitectured solids depend on their ligament size, porosity, network structure, morphology, connectivity, and surface area. This symposium will cover advances in synthesis, characterization, and computational modeling of nanoarchitectured and morphology-controlled nanoporous materials.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Advances in synthesis of thermodynamics driven nanostructures to controlled architectured materials systems

- Hybrid systems through integrated processing methods

- Design and optimization of morphology controlled nanoarchitectured materials

- Surface-driven phenomena in nanoporous and nanoarchitectured materials: experiments, modeling and simulation

- Influence of the morphology and topology on network-driven mechanical, and thermal properties in nanoarchitectured and nanoporous materials:

- Structural and functional applications of nanoporous and nanoarchitectured materials

hello:

I attach a flyer for the coming CISM course in Udine.

All welcome

This workshop is aimed at those interested in processing 3D image data. You will experience first-hand how quick and easy it is to visualize 3D image data (CT, MRI, FIB-SEM...), obtain image statistics and carry out segmentation, right through to generate models for CAD design, FE/CFD simulation and 3D printing. If you are working in areas such as Materials Science, Industrial Reverse Engineering and Life Sciences, then this workshop is for you.
