Soft Materials, Sensors, Electronics, Displays and Actuators: Functional Components for Soft Machines and Robots (Symposium SM01) - 2018 MRS Spring Meeting
Abstract
The 2018 MRS Spring Meeting will be held in the Phoenix Convention Center (PCC), April 2Ð6, 2018. There will be 61 symposia grouped into six topical clusters, as follows: Characterization, Modeling and TheoryÑThis cluster includes six symposia with special focus on simulation, theory and advanced nanoscale characterization of materials and of their functional properties by transmission electron microscopy, electron, x-ray and neutron diffraction, scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. Electronic and Photonic MaterialsÑThis cluster comprises eight symposia with focus on processing, characterization, integration, device performance and reliability issues of materials for electronic, photonic and optoelectronic applications. Energy Materials and TechnologiesÑThis cluster is comprised of 21 symposia that address the challenges, opportunities, and technologies related to energy materials, devices, and systems. ManufacturingÑThe manufacturing cluster features five symposia dedicated to a wide range of materials and applications: 1D nanowires, 2D materials, composites, textiles as well as materials aimed at particular applications such as advances in additive manufacturing, digital and analog printing technologies, organic electronics, direct matter assembly and dynamic materials. Many of the symposia will establish connections to methods for the characterization and possible applications. NanomaterialsÑThe nanomaterials cluster features 13 symposia dedicated to a wide range of nanoscale science and technologies of the variety of organic, inorganic and hybrid materials suitable for emerging photoelectric, photocatalytic and structural applications. Soft Materials and BiomaterialsÑThere are eight symposia in this broad interdisciplinary cluster. Key topics includes fundamental and applied research in the following technical areas: intelligent and biologically inspired materials, bioelectronics, immune modulatory materials, soft robotics, neural interfaces and advanced polymeric materials. Symposium SM01 is included in this cluster. Symposium XÑFrontiers of Materials Research Featuring MRS Award Talks. To complement the symposia, tutorials will provide detailed information on particularly exciting areas of research and the Exhibit will showcase products and services of interest to the scientific community. The Meeting, Exhibits and Posters will be located at the Phoenix Convention Center.
