Workshop
Young Researchers´School: Tutorial on Scientific Writing and the Editorial Process
Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Valtencir Zucolotto, IFSC / USP
The " Young Researchers´School " aims to develop / improve / strengthen the
skills necessary for researchers to do High Impact science, upon knowing the state of
the art in specific areas. The School will be offered to under and Graduate students
and post-docs.
It is hoped that researchers can optimize their potential in doing research, with regard to:
1) Development of national and international research projects with bold objectives,
and implementation of high-level scientific research. Such an approach is essential to
promote significant advances at the frontier of knowledge of each area.
2) Production of international scientific articles, through appropriate and efficient
writing.
As a result, we expect to collaborate with the formation of high-level
researchers, trained to recognize and act on the
state-of-the-art in their fields, in a way
to generate relevant knowledge and innovation for society.

Symposium K
Degradation of materials and solutions to increase its lifespan
Scope of the Symposium
Nowadays, the research for new materials and solutions to reduce wear, corrosion, and fatigue is vital to minimize energy consumption.
This symposium covers all aspects of degradation of metallic, ceramic, polymeric and composite materials, together with the characterization techniques needed to understand degradation phenomena. Solutions to increase the lifespan of materials submitted to degradation and corrosion, tribological fundaments, tribocorrosion, tribotesting (micro and nanoscale), tribomaterials and in-situ tribology are also included.
We welcome contributions to improve scientific and mechanistic understanding of the degradation of materials, characterization tools, and solutions to avoid or reduce degradation.
Several topics will be considered and treated including, but not limited to:
Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas
- Advanced materials and tribomaterials
- Biotribology
- Corrosion
- Degradation of materials
- Lubrication and lubricants, including solid lubricants
- Materials for corrosion control
- Mechanisms of friction and wear
- Surface treatments and multifunctional surfaces
- Tribocorrosion and biotribocorrosion
- Tribology fundamentals
