CellMat conference 2016

by | Oct 13, 2016

The 4th CellMAT conference will cover all aspects of manufacturing, modification, joining, property analysis and modelling of cellular materials.

The activities in the development, manufacture and application of cellular materials are steadily growing. Meanwhile, R&D of cellular materials constitutes a discrete but well-connected research field of materials science and engineering. In the same manner as other materials, it is expected to be a driver of innovations and novel or better products.

Over the last years, applications have been identified in the fields of energy efficiency, light weight construction, novel and efficient conversion concepts or biomedical repair functions, just to mention a few. The CellMAT conference series was initiated in 2010 in order to bring together experts from the polymer, ceramic, glass and metal communities dealing with cellular materials.

The 4th CellMAT  conference will cover all aspects of manufacturing, modification, joining, property analysis and modelling of cellular materials. In addition to this, featured side events will focus on specific topics. For further information: cfa-cellmat-2016

General Topics

  • Manufacturing
  • Surface modification and functionalization
  • Characterization: structure, in situ, structure characterisation
  • Physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal, acoustic and optical properties
  • Sustainable processing and recycling/materials from waste
  • Standardisation

Application-related Topics

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Energy management and saving
  • Chemical engineering and conversion
  • Bioengineering, biomaterials and life science
  • Biotechnology
  • Medical engineering
  • Microsystems technology
  • Automotive, aerospace and transportation
  • Architecture and design

International experts will give keynote/invited lectures about applications in the automotive industry and transportation, in mechanical engineering, for chemical and energy systems, for environmental purposes or for micro and medical devices and functions. Thus, the three day conference comes up as a discussion panel for researchers, manufacturers, and users of cellular materials. During the conference, the best three posters will be honoured.

We are glad to announce already the following Opening and Keynote speakers enriching the conference:

Opening Speaker

  • Prof. Denis Weaire, Trinity College Dublin (Irland)

Keynote Speakers

  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Volker Altstädt, Universität Bayreuth (Germany)
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Christos G. Aneziris, TU Bergakademie Freiberg (Germany)
  • Prof. Yuji Iwamoto, Nagoya Institute of Technology (Japan)
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jens Meinert, University of Applied Sciences Zittau/Görlitz (Germany)
  • Prof. Chul B. Park, University of Toronto (Canada)
