Materials for Energy and Environment (topic #1)
Materials are of primary importance for the sustainable development of energy technologies and for addressing the key global environmental challenges. The topic #1 of ISIEM 2023 will thus be dedicated to new, advanced, materials for clean energy (production, storage, conservation, conversion, generation, harvesting, transport, distribution, such like with hydrogen energy, batteries, supercapacitors…), as well as for environmental remediation (carbon dioxide emission mitigation, gas sorption and capture, VOCs, water purification, wastewater treatment, and so forth).

Please note that within the frame of this topic, we together with the French Research Federation on Hydrogen (FRH2) and RHYO will organize a full-day session dedicated to 'materials for hydrogen' as energy carrier. 

 topic 1
topic 2 Functional Materials (topic #2)
Functional materials are a group of engineered and advanced materials designed and synthesized for some specific function with proper surface morphology and tailored properties. Functional materials are widely used in various fields because of their excellent properties, such as magnetism, catalysis and photocatalysis, electrical and optical properties, good mechanical properties, high specific surface area and porosity, and permeability. Membranes and photocatalytic membranes are typical examples, like many others.
 
Biomaterials (topic #3)
A biomaterial (including among others, calcium sulfate, apatite, phosphate, bioglass, polyethylene terephthalate, copolymer of lactic acid and glycolic acid…) is engineered to take a form which, alone or as part of a complex system, is used to direct, by control of interactions with components of living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. Applications include cancer diagnosis and therapy, implantable devices, drug delivery systems, gene vectors, bionanotechnology and tissue engineering.

 topic 4		 Masonry Materials (topic #4)
Masonry materials include a number of materials, and one of the primary materials is cement that is of complex chemical nature. Cement is made of a mixture of lime (calcium oxide CaO), silica, alumina, iron oxide, and gypsum (hydrated calcium sulfate). The present topic is thus dedicated to the triptych cement/gypsum/lime.
Nanomaterials (topic #5)
Nanomaterials describe materials of which a single unit is sized, in at least one dimension, between 1 and 100 nm, which is the usual definition of nanoscale. Nanomaterials research takes a materials science-based approach to nanotechnology, leveraging advances in materials metrology and synthesis which have been developed in support of microfabrication research. Materials with structure at the nanoscale often have unique optical, electronic, thermo-physical, mechanical or catalytic properties.

 topic 6		 Materials Processing (topic #6)
Materials processing involves a complex series of chemical, thermal, and physical processes that prepare a starting material, create a shape, retain that shape, and refine the structure and shape. The goal of materials processing is to develop the structural features (e.g., crystal structure, microstructure, size, and shape) needed for the product to perform well in its intended application. Materials processing is central to the field of materials science and engineering, and is a vital step in manufacturing.
