Aim and Scope
The important role of interfaces in determining the properties of materials, and in microstructural evolution during manufacture and in-service operation, is increasingly appreciated by a wide range of researchers in different fields as a consequence of advances in theory, instrumentation, software and computational resources allowing investigation of interfaces at the atomic scale. IIB conferences provide a platform for scientists and researchers to exchange ideas regarding the understanding, control, and design of interfaces in various materials and to share new advances in their research in different fields of interface science and technologies.
IIB conferences strongly promote an interdisciplinary approach in the field of structures and properties of grain boundaries and interphase boundaries in a wide range of materials. A variety of hot topics will include but not limited to:
- Characterization of interfaces
- Modeling of interfaces
- Thermodynamics and kinetics of interfaces
- Properties of interfaces
- Interfaces in metals, ceramics, composites, and organic materials
- Interfaces in electronic, magnetic, and energy materials
- Interfaces in biomaterials, nanomaterials, and emerging materials
