In this investigation, we have studied the nano- and macro-mechanical properties of various EVAs using nano-indentation instrumentation and macro scale tensile testing.
The 56 papers that emerged cover nanomaterials processed by severe plastic deformation; the sintering of nano- materials and related phenomena; the physical, chemical, and electrochemical deposition of nano-materials; non-structured materials produced from an amorphous state; and the description, modeling, and control of nano-material microstructures.
Nano- biotechnology, nano-structured materials, nano-composites, nano- electronics, nano-mechanics, nano-medicine, nano-sensors, nano- biosensors, nano-photonics and nano-magnetism, nano-scale fabrications, green nanotechnology are among the main topics for discussion in the 3-day event.
