Program. <\/b>The preliminary program is online, <\/b>see here<\/a>.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Registration \u2013 discounts. <\/b>Registration is open. All categories have discounts until August 31st. See here<\/a> <\/b>the different values for B-MRS members (you can become a member during registration) and for non-members. Attention: The registration fee of the event + B-MRS membership fee is less than the registration fee of the event for non-members.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Student Awards<\/b>. Contributions of undergraduate or graduate students that are accepted for presentation at the event, may compete for awards from B-MRS and from the American Chemical Society (ACS) publisher.\u00a0Up to 46 works will be awarded.\u00a0The top 6 (3 posters and 3 oral) will receive cash prizes.\u00a0To participate in the selection the author must submit by August 14 an extended abstract supplemented to the conventional abstract.\u00a0Learn more about student awards, here<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Workshops.<\/b> On Sunday, September 10, those enrolled in the event will be able to attend, at no extra cost, the tutorial \u201cYoung\u2019s Researchers School: How to Produce and Publish High Impact Papers\u201c, which will be taught by Valtencir Zucolotto, Professor of IFSC-USP, and by Dr. Christiane Barranguet, Publishing Director for Materials Science at Elsevier.\u00a0Additional information and registration, here<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hosting, transportation and tourism.<\/b> For hotel options, flight reservations, shuttle service,\u00a0touristic attractions tours, shows etc, see here<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Plenary lectures.<\/b> Seven internationally renowned scientists will speak about cutting edge research\u00a0on subjects such as materials for biomedical and environmental applications; biomimetic surfaces; heterogeneous catalysis; materials and technologies for miniaturized electronic circuits; piezoelectric films and their energy, optics and electronics applications. Learn more by clicking on the speakers’ photos, <\/span>here<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Memorial lecture. <\/b>At the opening of the event, SBPMat will pay homage to Professor Jo\u00e3o Alziro H. da Jornada, from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), who will deliver the traditional Memorial Lecture \u201cJoaquim da Costa Ribeiro\u201d. See here<\/b><\/a> our\u00a0interview with Prof. Jornada.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Venue.<\/b> The FAURGS event center is in the center of Gramado, within walking distance of\u00a0restaurants, shops, tourist attraction spots and hotels.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

City of the event.<\/b> Gramado is a charming tourist town, with a wide and qualified chain of hotels, gastronomic restaurants and shops. This attractive city is also the starting point for a series of sightseeing highlights that explores the area’s natural florid beauty, its\u00a0history marked by German and Italian immigration, and the theme parks around the city.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Organization. <\/b>Meet the organizing committee.\u00a0Here.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Exhibitors.<\/b> 23\u00a0companies have already\u00a0confirmed their participation in the industrial exhibition. Contact for sponsoring and exhibition issues:\u00a0Alexandre, comercial@sbpmat.org.br. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fapesp collective support.<\/b> The request was approved. The foundation will finance stipends and transportation of those researchers from\u00a0S\u00e3o Paulo institutions that participated in the request.

B-MRS was present at the 69th annual meeting of the Brazilian Society for the Advancement of Science, represented by Professor Glaura Goulart Silva (UFMG), scientific director of our society. Learn more about Goulart Silva’s impression of the event (\u201can area of resistance to the dismantling of science and technology in Brazil\u201d) and her account on the round table on carbon nanostructures, in which she participated as a panelist.

In a study carried out at the Brazilian Federal University of Tri\u00e2ngulo Mineiro, researchers developed a mortar reinforced with multilayer graphene nanoflakes, with resistance almost 150% higher than that of traditional mortar. The material may be easily prepared by civil construction professionals by adding graphene powder to conventional mortar. The scientific team also studied the mechanisms that provide exceptional resistance to this new material. The research was reported in an Elsevier journal dedicated to research in construction materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>

Interviews with speakers of the XVI B-MRS Meeting<\/strong><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

We interviewed Professor Susan Trolier-McKinstry, who is the current president of the Materials Research Society (MRS) and\u00a0the Steward S. Flaschen Professor of Ceramic Science and Engineering at Penn State (USA). Trolier-McKinstry is also a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Director of the Nanofabrication facility at that university. The scientist will deliver a plenary lecture in Gramado, on September 12, on piezoelectric films for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Based on piezoelectric materials, Trolier-McKinstry and her group have developed MEMS –\u00a0microscopic machines capable of capturing and processing environmental information, and with this data, carrying out operations involving movement –\u00a0with applications in the energy and health areas, among others.\u00a0In the interview, she spoke\u00a0about science and about the current challenges of materials research societies.\u00a0See the interview.<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We also interviewed Alexander Yarin, Distinguished Professor at the University of Illinois at\u00a0Chicago (USA). In his plenary lecture in Gramado, on September 11, he will talk about the nanofibers he produces in his laboratory from agro-waste materials, using\u00a0a process based on the interaction between a jet of polymer solution and a jet of air. These biopolymer nanofibers can be used in\u00a0health and environmental areas, for example. Find out more about Professor Yarin\u2019s main contributions and about the themes he will address at the XVI SBPMat Meeting.<\/span><\/span>
