Abstract

The NANOMAT series are being 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 NANOMAT2017 provided a comprehensive overview of the fundamental aspects, synthesis, materials, properties, and applications in this evolving field of materials science. The sessions of NANOMAT2017 covered the following themes:
