September 25 - 27, 2013    Kiel , Germany
Euro Intelligent Materials 2013 venue will be held at ATLANTIC Hotel Kiel on 25-27 September 2013.

Intelligent materials with integrated functionalities are required to make devices more energy efficient, autonomous, self-responding, switchable, biocompatible, and anti-bacterial. They are also integrated into novel sensor and actuator devices with significantly increased sensitivity. Such intelligent materials typically have a complex internal structure: they can be composites from different material classes like multiferroics. They might be nanostructured or hierarchically built-up, they could be bio-inspired and possess functional elements ranging from single molecules to the macro-scale.

All those materials and their design and development has to be accompanied by high-resolution analytical tools that are able to characterize the materials on all scales and, moreover, to track and reveal their function-structure relations in situ. The symposium will bring together experts in the field of intelligent materials in order to present and discuss recent developments and detect future trends. The symposium will be a forum to get in contact with international key researchers and stimulate new collaborations for developing novel intelligent material systems, characterizing their functionality from molecular mechanisms to applications.

Conference Language:
The official congress language will be English.

Topics addressed in this symposium will include, but not limited to:
• New intelligent materials
• Smart materials
• Multiferroics
• Multifunctional composites
• Biofunctional materials
• Bio-inspired materials
• Switchable molecules and surfaces
• Microstructural characterization of intelligent materials and correlation with their functional properties
• Theory and modeling of intelligent materials on different scales
