2nd Annual International Conference on Materials Science, Metal & Manufacturing (M3 2012) November 18, 2012

CONFERENCE THEME

Materials science has been pushed to the forefront of research and development not only in universities but in industries as well. With the planet's resources being mined each day in order to supply the growing demands of industrialization, one major task of materials science is to revolutionize the manufacturing industry with the best materials for manufacture that are sustainable for the long term.

Materials science is also paving the way for new theoretical and empirical research in areas of physics, engineering and chemistry. This conference will provide the venue to discuss these recent developments.

Keynote Address "Physics and Applications of Superhydrophobic and Superhydrophilic Surfaces
and Coatings" will be delivered by:

Dr. Jaroslaw Drelich
Associate Professor
Department of Materials Science and Engineering
