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 I

Functional polymer composites for electronics and energy applications

Scope of the Symposium

This symposium will cover the latest advancements in the field of functional polymer composites and nanocomposites for electronic and energy industries. It will bring together scientists and engineers working in this field to exchange opinions on new techniques of characterization, fabrication, processing, and to discuss the applications of these materials.
Of specific interest are the understanding on the underlying phenomena governing the formation of morphology of these materials to tailor their properties, as well as innovative applications using these materials.

Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas

1. Fundamentals of composites and nanocomposites for electronics and energy a. Synthesis b. Control of interfaces c. Control of rheological properties d. Modeling the evolution of their morphology
2. Novel polymer composite material systems and processing techniques a. Graphene and carbon nanotube nanocomposites b. Metallic nanocomposites
3. Advanced functional properties a. Conductive polymers b. Electroactive polymers c. Piezoelectric polymers
4. New processing techniques of these materials a. Electrospinning b. Additive manufacturing c. Spray-dryer
5. Applications of composites and nanocomposites for electronics and energy a. Sensing and imaging b. Electromagnetic shielding c. Energy storage applications d. Food packaging e. Biomedical
