"Great conference. Well-managed, great opportunity to meet and share research findings with experts and colleagues from many different fields and countries."
Energy, the environment and human health have emerged as strategic priorities not only in research but in all aspects of our lives. Hybrid materials have already demonstrated good promise in addressing and offering solutions in each of these priority areas.
The main objective of this large interdisciplinary conference is to bring together, at a truly international level, people with shared interests in hybrid materials, including:
Polymer chemists, physicists and engineers
Biomaterials chemists, physicists and engineers
Organic chemists
Inorganic chemists
Solid state chemists
Sol-gel chemists
Composites scientists
Colloid chemists and physicists
Zeolite, meso- and microporous materials scientists
Broad nano- and materials scientists
The conference will start on Wednesday 19 October 2022 and finish on Saturday 22 October 2022. Each day will start with a Plenary Lecture followed by 4 parallel sessions focusing on the following topics:
Symposium A: Biohybrids, biomaterials and biological materials Symposium B: Functional hybrid nanomaterials, nanocomposites and their applications (this symposium will run in two streams) Symposium C: Functional porous materials
Abstract submission deadline: 10 June 2022
Early Bird Registration Deadline: 29 July 2022
