Mini-symposium: Mechanics and Physics of 2D Crystalline Materials (at the WCCM 2018)

Dear Colleagues, 

Dr. Dbakar Datta and I are co-organizing a session titled “Mechanics and Physics of 2D Crystalline Materials” (Track #1203) for the upcoming WCCM 2018 conference in New York City.

We would like to cordially invite you to submit an abstract to our session. The topics of this symposium include (but not limited to) the following:

(1) Continuum and Atomistic-Continuum Modeling for 2D materials; Phase Field modeling of epitaxial growth of 2D materials such as graphene or TMD on different substrates/2D materials; Modeling of complex process influenced by thermodynamics, kinetic, and growth parameters;

(2) Molecular Dynamic simulation of defects and elastic deformations, onset of mechanical instabilities and fracture during nanofabrication;

(3) First Principle Modeling for: electronic, optical and catalytical properties of 2D heterostructures; the role of defects and deformations; effect of edge energy, edge force; interaction of nanomaterials with different substrates.

(4) Interaction of 2D nanomaterials interaction with nanofluids such as water droplet and biomolecules (proteins and DNA).

The abstract submission window is October 15 - December 31, 2017.  

When submitting an abstract, please make sure to select Topic "Mechanics and Physics of 2D Crystalline Materials" (#1203). This mini-symposium is under the track #1200 Nano- and Micro- Mechanics of Materials.
