The purpose of CMSSM-2023 is to emphasize the value and significance of smart materials for societal wellbeing.
Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) will host a two-day international conference on “Material Science and Smart Materials (CMSSM-2023)” on January 7th and 8th, at its main campus in Islamabad.
The opening ceremony’s chief guest will be nuclear scientist Prof. Dr. NM Butt, and AIOU Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Nasir Mehmood will serve as master of ceremonies. The event will be hosted by Prof. Dr. Syed Zafar Ilyas, Chairman of the Physics Department. A total of 350 research papers from three international universities and 70 Pakistani universities will be presented.
The importance of this conference will be felt by academics, university officials, and business leaders. In the areas of science and technology, the world has made significant advancements, and new inventions have been made for social reconstruction.
The purpose of CMSSM-2023 is to emphasise the value and significance of smart materials for societal wellbeing. Prof. Dr. Syed Zafar Ilyas claims that this conference is a component of ongoing initiatives at the university to advance the nation’s research culture.
The conference’s goals are to raise awareness and apply research to the country’s social and economic development.
Material science is a field of study that focuses on the properties of materials and their potential applications. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including the production and purification of materials, the study of their structure and behavior at different scales, and the development of new materials with specific properties.
Smart materials, on the other hand, are materials that have one or more properties that can be altered in a controlled manner in response to external stimuli, such as temperature, humidity, light, or magnetic fields.
Some examples of smart materials include piezoelectric materials, which change shape when an electrical current is applied to them; shape memory alloys, which can remember and return to a specific shape after being deformed; and thermochromic materials, which change color in response to changes in temperature.
