Title: Summer School on Nanocomposites
ICSAAM 2023 will offer courses at the state-of-the art from leaders from AmaDema (Advanced Materials Design & Manufacturing, Nicosia, Cyprus) in the development of Nanocomposites and Nanotechnologies.
Although the courses are especially addressed to MSc. and PhD students, all conference participants are welcome to attend.
Main Topics:
• Introduction to Composites
• Composite Materials Characterization
• Nanofiber Reinforcements for Composites
• Applications of Nanofiber-Enhanced Composites
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the school, students should be able to:
• Define the fields of Nanocomposites and Nanotechnology
• Distinguish the different techniques used to characterize the physical and mechanical properties of nanocomposites
• Understand the relationship between nano, micro, and macro scale in interdisciplinary fields
• Analyze the contributions of nanoscale to performances of diverse technological systems
• Identify the main areas of research and development in Nanotechnology Engineering
• Apply ethical concepts to the creation and use of matter at the nanoscale
