National Conference on Smart & Electronic Materials and Devices October 23-24, 2009
ObjectivesSmart materials or functional materials have been in use for many years. Their relatively recent integration with electronics has opened up a world of possibilities. With built-in intelligence, these materials and systems today find applications in areas as diverse as aeronautics, space systems and drug delivery.
Organized jointly by the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science of the Amrita School of Engineering in Coimbatore and the Indian Society for Advancement of Materials and Process Engineering (ISAMPE), Coimbatore Chapter, the conference aims at disseminating recent developments in the field among students, faculty, and research.
The conference will feature invited speakers from institutions such as NAL, ADA, IISc, ISAC, BELL, IITs, DAE, GM, CGCRI, ISRO, JNCASR, CMET.
Topics will include piezo materials, shape memory alloys, pH sensitive polymers, temperature response polymers, chromic materials, magnetorheological fluids, smart composites, chiral materials, tunable dielectrics, photonic materials. In addition, devices such as flat panel displays, microelectronic sensors, MEMs, solar cells, batteries and energy storage systems, fuel cells, magnetic memories, organic thin-film transistors, opto-electronics and microwave devices will also be covered.

About the Conference
The world-wide market for polymer electronic products is estimated to be over 15 Euro billon by 2015. By 2025, it is expected to touch 125 Euro billon. If we add to this, the polycrystalline silicon based electronics, we will be doubling these figures.
The blooming market of electronics products has been stimulated by enormous development in microelectronics, smart materials and polymer electronics. Over the past three decades, microelectronics supplied numerous logic and memory devices to the market through innovative, new technologies.
While smart materials or functional materials have been in the use for many years, their integration with electronics have realized innumerable new possibilities of applications. With a built-in intelligence these materials and systems find applications in areas as diverse as aeronauticals, space systems and drug delivery.
Polymer electronics has offered a wide range of products having lighter, flexible and more cost effective alternatives to conventional materials with applications ranging from printed, flexible conductors to novel semiconductor components to intelligent labels, large area displays. Some of these are now beginning to be commercialized.
The conference is organized jointly by the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science of the Amrita School of Engineering in Coimbatore and the Indian Society for Advancement of Materials and Process Engineering (ISAMPE), Coimbatore Chapter, as part of the silver jubilee celebrations of ISAMPE.
