International Conference on Advanced Materials and their Applications 2021
7 - 9 March, 2022, Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia | Virtual Event
Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University in Al-Kharj, represented by the College of Science and Humanities, organizes the International Conference on Advanced Materials and their Applications, due in 7 - 9 March, 2022. The conference is deemed to be the first of its kind in the university; further, it transpires at a time that serves the Kingdom's policy of diversifying knowledge-based economy, which demands reliance on scientific research in the furtherance of development. With this in mind, research outcomes would enhance the university vision in fulfilling the systemic structure of scientific research. The magnitude of the present conference themes consists in the fact that the science of materials is regarded as one of the significant specializations wherein the physical and chemical properties of materials as well as their engineering applications and their utility in industry and medicine are being taught. Such a scientific branch is built on the interrelation between materials and their properties, and hence their development into being new materials with industrial applications. Also, this branch of science is interested in micro-technology fields, quantitative computation, nuclear sciences, and medical fields.
