It is our sincere pleasure and great honor to announce the “1st Corrosion and Materials Degradation Web Conference” (CMDWC 2021). The conference is organized by the MDPI open access journals Corrosion and Materials Degradation (CMD) and Materials and will be held online from 17 to 19 May 2021.
Corrosion, along with the science and technology of its mitigation, is a long-lived and fascinating subject. It is among the most common forms of material degradation that poses enormous challenges to a variety of industries and can even impact our health. The vexing problem of corrosion continues to cost our society very dearly and has repercussions on the application of new and critical technologies. CMDWC 2021 will present disruptive and novel approaches to corrosion mitigation whose exploitation appears commercially attractive, while also promoting cutting-edge advancements in traditional approaches.
All scientists or engineers working on corrosion as well as those studying the mechanical degradation of materials are welcome to join this event and share their findings on the following general and related themes. Note that this list is not exclusive.
- Mechanism and Predictive/Deterministic Aspects of Corrosion
- Corrosion in Concrete and Porous Media
- Materials Degradation in Defence and Civilian Aircrafts
- Composite and Bonded Structures
- Corrosion Assessment and Management
- Atmospheric Corrosion of Materials
- Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion
- Corrosion Barrier Coatings
- Corrosion and Degradation of Biomaterials
- Fatigue and Creep Degradations
- Degradation of Additively Manufactured Materials
- Corrosion in Nuclear Industries
- High-Temperature Corrosion
- Corrosion Mitigation
CMDWC 2021 will allow you to share and discuss your most recent research findings with the vibrant worldwide community of scientists and engineers in the field. Moreover, during the conference, numerous internationally renowned speakers will share their current state-of-the-art research through a series of live-streaming webinars, which will also include comprehensive Q&A sessions. Participation in and "attendance" to the CMDWC2021 are FREE of charge.
Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the conference committee. All accepted abstracts will be available online for discussion and for rating during the conference period. Authors will also have the option to include a slide, poster or video presentation of their work to be displayed online together with their abstract. The accepted abstracts and slide/poster/video presentations will be published in an issue of Materials Proceedings. After the conference, selected contributions will be invited for full manuscript submission for publication in the journals CMD and Materials (Impact Factor: 3.057).
We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting event.
