IMEC 2022

Dear colleges,

     It is our pleasure to announce that the Serbian Society for Innovative Materials in Extreme Conditions (SIM-EXTREME), together with Center of Excellence “Center for Synthesis, Processing and Characterization of Materials for Application in Extreme Conditions – CEXTREME LAB”, Faculty of Science and Mathematics University of Niš and Faculty of Mechanical Engineering University of Belgrade, is organizing the 1st International Conference on Innovative Materials in Extreme Conditions (IMEC2022) on March 22-23, 2022 in Belgrade, Serbia. This conference was first scheduled for the year 2020, but it was postponed due to the global pandemic events (http://sim-extreme.edu.rs/general-information/). Now, we are hoping that the global situation will allow us to finally meet with our dear and distinguished colleges and to share our ideas and research findings in person.
     The scope of the IMEC2022 is to become the worldwide forum for discussion of experts and young researchers on the phenomena arising during the processing and/or exploitation of the innovative materials. IMEC2022 conference will be focused on the current research in the field of material science, physics, chemistry, earth, and computation science. Experimental and computational investigations of materials obtained or operated under extreme conditions presented during the conference will highlight recent progress in the development of the innovative materials at high pressures, under high magnetic and electric fields, over a wide range of temperatures, radiation conditions, corrosive environments, under extreme mechanical loads and non-equilibrium thermodynamic conditions. The interrelation between external effects, microstructural characteristics, and material properties will be considered on the experimental and theoretical level in order to obtain new or enhanced insights into the material behavior and their application.
     The IMEC2022 will be focused on an experimental and theoretical approach to the materials processed and/or applied in extreme conditions:

• Ultra-high temperatures
•  Extreme pressures
•  High magnetic and electric fields
•  Radiation conditions
•  Corrosive environments
•  Extreme mechanical loads
•  Non-equilibrium thermodynamic conditions
