Abstract

The NANOMAT series are directed to researchers working with all classes of metastable and nanostructured materials (ceramics and glasses, metals and alloys, polymers and composites). Research in these areas has been strongly stimulated in recent years by the developments of new materials with unique mechanical, chemical and physical properties. In this context, NANOMAT 2015 provided a comprehensive overview of the fundamental aspects, synthesis, materials, properties and applications in this evolving field of materials science. The sessions of NANOMAT 2015 covered several different aspects: 1.
