Processing and Fabrication: The ultimate challenge for functional materials

Symposium, 20-21 February 2012

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials (AIIM)
Innovation Campus, Wollongong NSW Australia

Registrations by invitation only. Registration Now Closed

For twenty years, materials scientists have worked tirelessly to incorporate different levels of functionality into materials.  We are now set to witness the emergence of the next generation of devices for energy harvesting and medical bionic applications, as long as we can figure out how to make them.  For next generation devices, we require next generation manufacturing.

It is important that we continue to develop materials chemistries and formulations that enhance the capabilities of emerging fabrication systems. Revolutions in fabrication can only occur in the right environment.  Those with the driving need, in our case users of advances in energy and medical bionics, must work hand in hand with materials scientists and device fabrication engineers to bring the dream to life.
