CIMTEC 2016 - 7th Forum on New Materials, to be held in Perugia, Italy, June 5 to 9, 2016 will include the 5th International Conference “Smart and Multifunctional Materials, Structures and Systems” and the 11th International Conference “Medical Applications of Novel Biomaterials and Nanotechnology”.

The 5th International Conference “Smart and Multifunctional Materials, Structures and Systems” (sixteen Symposia) will cover most promising selected areas of smart and multifunctional materials R&D, from the molecular nanoscales to large complex integrated systems. Updated progress in materials science and in the widespread use of nanotechnologies will be covered that coupled with the exponential growth of computing capability and the availability of reliable multiscale modeling, promote a deeper understanding and better exploitation of the convergences among materials, electronics and biological systems.

The 11th International Conference “Medical Applications of Novel Biomaterials and Nanotechnology” particularly aims to report recent advances on creatively modified stimuli-responsive, active and multifunctional material systems and their implementation in selected challenging areas of nanomedicine such as soft and hard tissue engineering and regeneration, intelligent drug delivery and release, as well as medical imaging/therapy including multi-modal theranostics. Two Focused Sessions on materials for implantable neural interfaces and on the possible application of functionalized carbon nanotubes and graphene in medicine will complement the conference contents.
