ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Nanocrystalline materials have been the subject of worldwide research during the last two
decades and more, leading to significant advances in their synthesis, consolidation,
applications and characterization. The significantly differing physical, mechanical and
chemical properties of nano materials in comparison with the conventional coarse-grained
polycrystalline materials have created enormous interest in their study. Nanostructured
materials provide an excellent opportunity to study the nature of solid interfaces leading to our
understanding of the structure-property relationship in solids in the nanometer regime. They
also present many attractive technological applications with their novel properties. During the
recent years a vast number of synthesizing techniques, novel consolidation and advanced
charaterization procedures have been reported. A number of successful attempts have also
been made to simulate as well as model the consolidation of nano materials.
