Mesoscopics nanoscopics and macroscopics materials

At the present time, materials with dimensions in the range of microns to nanometers have become the prime objects of vigorous research activities of all over the world. The possibility of artificially creating novel materials with exotic and tailor made properties that are essential for future development in the frontier areas of electronics, photonics, spintronics etc has generated much interest in the study of these mesoscopic and nanoscopic materials. These materials also have the potential for wide ranging economically viable technological, industrial, engineering and bio-medical applications. They may consist of metals , alloys , ceramics, polymers, composites and biological materials; which are usually assembled at the atomic / molecular level to achieve new properties. Understanding the underlying science and characterization of these new materials with a view of harnessing their exotic properties is the prime focus of the researchers. These Proceedings address these issues relating to mesoscopic, nanoscopic and macroscopic materials.

Recent Research in Structural Health Monitoring

Roctest Group believes in the importance of maintaining a close contact with the scientific community active in fields close to our activities domains, in particular smart structures, structural engineering, sensing and fiber optic sensors. These contacts allow Roctest SMARTEC Telemac to remain at the front of scientific progress and to contribute to the diffusion of the monitoring culture worldwide. Our research and development team actively contributes in the research community, attending conferences and regularly publishing in the scientific literature. we support academic research by participating in joint research projects and by regularly welcoming graduate and undergraduate students for stages and exchange programs.
