For the 1st International Electronic Conference on Materials (ECM), we invite scholars from all over the world to present their current novel ideas and latest research on fundamental aspects of materials or concerning their application. Late in the 20th century, we witnessed profound changes in the field of materials.

The advent of nanomaterials and new materials processing techniques have provided us with opportunities to push the frontiers of materials sciences and engineering beyond our imagination. This is precisely what we aim to capture and cover during this special event.

We are looking for experts and scholars who would like to share their knowledge, expertise and the most recent progress by joining this conference which is, itself, a novel way of exchanging ideas with our community.

The conference will be completely free of charge—both to attend, and for scholars to upload and present their latest work on the conference platform. There will further be a possibility to submit selected papers to the journal Materials (ISSN 1996-1944; Impact Factor: 2.247 (2012); 5-Year: 2.338 (2012); www.mdpi.com/journal/materials).

ECM offers you the opportunity to participate in this international, scholarly conference without having the concerns and expense of travelling—all you need is your computer and access to the Internet. We would like to invite you to “attend” this conference by presenting your latest work.

Abstracts (in English) should be submitted by 15 April 2014 online at sciforum.net/user/submission.

We hope you will be able to join this exciting event and support us in making it a success. The 1st International Electronic Conference on Materials is organized and sponsored by MDPI, a scholarly open access publisher (https://www.mdpi.com/).

sciforum-002722	Photo-responsive Properties on Locally Confined Ultrathin Silicon Nanowires Duy Tran , Thomas Macdonald , Bernhard Wolfrum , Regina Stockmann , Andreas Offenhausser , Thomas Nann , Benjamin Thierry Submitted: 08 Apr 2014 Abstract: Show Abstract	Duy Tran , Thomas Macdonald , Bernhard Wolfrum , Regina Stockmann , Andreas Offenhausser , Thomas Nann , Benjamin Thierry		Show Abstract
We present a concept of hybrid photo-responsive device based on the combination of ultrathin SiNW with quantum dots (QDs). High quality SiNW arrays have been fabricated using a novel top-down process. The SiNW arrays were able to detect light from the UV up to the visible range with good sensitivity, fast response and ultrahigh photo responsivity (R~ 10⁴ A/W) at room temperature. The SiNW arrays have good stabilities over long term measurement as well as a range of experimental conditions (e.g. temperature 273 – 343 K) and even after strong UV radiation exposure (up to 585 J.cm^-2). The SiNW arrays were coated with cadmium telluride (CdTe) QDs, and the hybrid QD sensitized devices displayed a significant improvement of the photocurrent measured under UV light while preserving their performance under visible light illumination. The sensitivity over a broad illumination range, the stability and high photoresponse of the new hydrid nanostructures is very promising towards the development of novel optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices.
sciforum-001358	Effects of Composites due to External Fields C Akin Submitted: 21 Apr 2014 Abstract: Show Abstract	C Akin		Show Abstract
The Properties of polymer differs when subjected to various external fields such as pH, temperature and light. As the external fields react with the polymer it results in deformation. In the present world construction industry plays a major role in using of composite materials. The composites such as FRP and polymer concrete deforms due to various external fields of nature. The focus on the present paper is the effects happen in composite materials due to external fields. Here in this paper the composite materials FRP and polymer concrete is subjected to external field and its effect is found with a case study.
sciforum-002696	Synthesis of Degradable PolyMMA via Copolymerization with Cyclic Ketene Acetals Stephan Kobben , Anitha Ethirajan , Thomas Junkers Submitted: 15 Apr 2014 Abstract: Show Abstract	Stephan Kobben , Anitha Ethirajan , Thomas Junkers	N/A	Show Abstract
Polyesters play a very important part in the development of (bio)degradable materials, due to the hydrolizable ester-groups. However, it usually requires stringent conditions and removal of condensates in order to reach high molecular weights in classical polyester step-growth polymerizations. This is in contrast with free radical polymerization, where high molecular weights are reached within seconds without the need for stringent conditions, drastically lowering the cost. Combining the simple procedures for free radical polymerization with the hydrolizability of polyesters has long been a focus in research. With the introduction of radical ring-opening polymerization by Bailey et al. In 1979^[1] it became feasible to incorporate ester-groups into polymer backbone by copolymerizing cyclic ketene acetals (CKAs). This method, however, did not immediately generate broad interest probably owing to the relatively complicated reaction mechanism and tedious synthesis procedures for CKAs. However, since the early 2000’s more research has been performed, mainly on the synthesis of copolymers of CKAs and vinyl monomers.^[2] The development of controlled radical polymerizations also proved to be an accelerator for RROP research. In this contribution, the synthesis of degradable linear and four-arm star copolymers of 5,6-benzo-2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane and methyl methacrylate via RAFT polymerization is presented.^[3] To determine exact copolymer composition, the reactivity ratios of both monomers have been determined and are thoroughly discussed. ^[1] W.

sciforum-003136	Versatility of Silsesquioxane-Based Materials for Antimicrobial Coatings Bogdana Simionescu , Cristian Ursu , Corneliu Cotofana , Mihaela Olaru Submitted: 08 Apr 2014 Abstract: Show Abstract	Bogdana Simionescu , Cristian Ursu , Corneliu Cotofana , Mihaela Olaru		Show Abstract

As follows, the requirements for achieving efficient coatings, chemical functionalization methods, working mechanisms and a classification of different silsesquioxane-based materials will be provided in order to have a complete overview of their most recent breakthrough for antibacterial/antifungal applications.
sciforum-003240	Preparation of a Novel Biopolymer Cellulose-Based Nanocomposite by Coating of Gamma-Fe2O3/Cu Nanoparticles and Catalytic Application in Chemical Reactions Ali Maleki , Vahid Eskandarpour , Negar Hamidi Submitted: 20 Apr 2014 Abstract: Show Abstract	Ali Maleki , Vahid Eskandarpour , Negar Hamidi	N/A	Show Abstract
Cellulose, as a naturally abundant biopolymer, can be easily functionalized with various organic groups for desired purposes like applications as a biodegradable support for heterogeneous catalysis, composites matrixes and immobilization processes. Metal nanocomposites are one of the best catalysts for organic reaction beacause of their simple recoverable features. They simply can be recovered from reaction pot. A possible method simple separation and recycling of the catalysts is immobilizing catalytically active species in the surface of magnetic metal nanoparticles which can be separated from the reaction system by applying an appropriate magnetic field. In this study, we have prepared a biopolymer-based bimetallic nanocomposite via in situ synthesis of maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3) and Cu on cellulose biopolymer. It has been proven that this catalyst shows very good activities in organic synthesis. In general this nanocomposite catalyst is recoverable, green, easy separable, environmentally friendly and in the chemical reaction as a very good strategy for the synthesis of medicinal and pharmaceutical compounds compared to the traditional method.

This section is chaired by:
Dr. Reza Montazami, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Iowa State University, USA

The development of new materials and surfaces are vital for meeting future energy needs. At the same time sustainable development will emphasize research and development that propose solutions for meeting the needs of today without compromising the needs of future generations. Papers for this topic are expected to cover the increasing role of (nano)materials in sustainable technologies for energy conversion, storage, and savings. Principal areas of interest are: solar cells, batteries and supercapacitors, fuel cells, thermoelectrics, superconductors, more efficient lighting, and hydrogen technologies. Talks and discussion will also include issues considering how to improve the standard of living by protecting human health, conserving the environment, and using resources efficiently.
