Le LaMCoS et le LGEF organisent la 16éme conférence IWPMA 2019 -International Workshop on Piezoelectric Materials and Applications in Actuators

Since they discovery, piezoelectric materials have found numerous applications over the ages, ranging from sonar to nowadays integrated devices. Thanks to their unique bidirectional conversion potentials, such materials have been the subject of many scientific and industrial studies and many materials devices emerged from research progress.
Hence, the objective of IWPMA 2019 (16th edition of IWPMA after last editions in Kobe, Japan in 2018 and Washington D.C., USA in 2017) is to gather researchers to a unique, successful international workshop to share their latest discovery in terms of piezoelectric materials and their application in actuators and more generally energy conversion devices, hence pioneering and shaping the future of piezoelectric materials and devices.

The conference scope therefore focuses on piezoelectric materials (ceramics, single crystals, polymers, lead-free, elaboration, characterization…) as well as their application in actuators (ultrasonic tools, acoustic devices, motors, transformers…) and in sensing and energy harvesting systems (imaging, MEMS…). This therefore provides an outstanding place and opportunity to present your latest work and strengthen or develop new exciting collaborations. The conference will take place in Lyon, hub city formerly capital of Gaul and currently “Capital of Lights”, very famous in terms of gastronomy and architecture as well. This will therefore provide a unique atmosphere for exciting scientific discussion and much more!
