Session 7. Nanocomposites

Session Information and Topics

Nanocomposites have attracted rapidly growing interests in both fundamental nanoscience research and practical applications due to outstanding mechanical, electrical, thermal and other fantastic functions. This session aims to highlight breakthroughs, progress and challenges in the fabrication, characterization and applications of nanocomposites：

1.     New fabrication and characterization techniques for assembling nanocomposites;

2.     Multifunctional nanocomposites including mechanical, electrical, thermal, EMI shielding, etc.;

3.     Smart and intelligent nanocomposites including self-healing, self-monitoring, adaptive, environmental response, etc.;

4.     Nanocomposites applications in electrical and energy devices, such as supercapacitors, batteries, etc.;

5.     Nanocomposites for actuator, artificial muscle, sensor, etc.
