Special Session 5
ADVANCED POLYMERS AND COMPOSITES: MANUFACTURING, CHARACTERIZATION AND SUSTAINABILITY (SS5)
This special session provides a forum for recent advances in the design, manufacturing, characterization and application of polymers and polymer-based composites. Particular attention will be devoted to sustainable materials, advanced processing routes (out-of-autoclave, 3D printing, etc.), multifunctional and smart behavior (including nanocomposites), and circular strategies for recycling and reuse.
Topics:
- Bio-based and sustainable polymers and composites.
- Recycling, reuse and circular-economy strategies for polymers and composites.
- Smart, responsive and adaptive polymers and composites (self-healing, adaptative structures, actuators, etc.)
- Advanced characterisation, testing and performance assessment of polymers and composites.
- Advanced processing of polymers and composites, including 3D printing and additive manufacturing.
- Multifunctional composites and nanocomposites for sensing, structural health monitoring, EMI shielding, lightning-strike protection, thermal management and other functional applications.
- Innovation in polymers and composites manufacturing, including 3D printing technologies.
- Applications of polymers and composites (energy, transportation, biomaterials, sports, etc.).
- Polymer coatings and adhesives.
