ABOUT ISMANAM
ISMANAM is a prestigious global event ever since its
inception in 1993 (Paris). The subsequent symposia
have been held in Quebec (1995), Rome (1996),
Sitges (1997), Wollongong (1998), Dresden (1999),
Oxford (2000), Ann Arbor (2001), Seoul (2002), Foz
do Iguaçu (2003), Sendai (2004), Paris (2005), Warsaw
(2006), Corfu Island (2007), Buenos Aires (2008),
Beijing (2009), Zürich (2010), Gijón (2011), Moscow
(2012), Turin (2013), Cancún (2014), Paris (2015),
Nara (2016), San Sebastian (2017) and Rome (2018).
ISMANAM 2019 will be the 26th conference in this
series, being held in India for the first time. The aim of
the conference is to provide a suitable platform for the
exchange of ideas in the areas of metastable, nano and
amorphous materials. The symposium not only helps
the scientific community to stay updated with the latest
developments, but also enables discussion on the key
scientific challenges in the field.
ABOUT IIT MADRAS
Indian Institute of Technology Madras was founded
in the year 1959 with technical assistance from West
Germany. IIT Madras boasts of a green campus of 2.5
square kilometres, which was a part of the Guindy
National Park (a protected wildlife area) from which
it has inherited the diverse flora and fauna. The
institute has 16 departments ranging across Science,
Engineering, Management and Humanities streams
offering undergraduate, postgraduate and research
degrees. It is a residential campus with about 600
faculty, 9500 students and 600 supporting staff​. With its
focus on excellence in teaching, research, technology
development and entrepreneurship, IITM has been
maintaining the 1st rank among Indian Engineering
Institutes for the last three consecutive years under the
National Institutional Ranking Framework of MHRD,
India.
WELCOME TO CHENNAI
Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, is a culturally,
historically and technologically rich city on the
Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal. It is the 4th
largest city in India and a major commercial centre in
the region. The city represents an amalgamation of the
past traditions, culture emanating from the Dravidian
civilization, and booming modern industries which
include automobile, financial services, hardware,
software and textile which is reflected in its skyline
composed of elegant high-rises as well as ancient
temples. The famous sightseeing spots in and around
Chennai include Marina beach, Kapaleeshwarar temple,
St. Thomas Cathedral Basilica, Mahabalipuram,
Pondicherry, etc.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The conference will feature oral presentations by
eminent speakers from R&D and academic institutions
around the globe. It will also have poster papers by
young researchers based on their original work. All
peer reviewed and accepted papers will be published
by internationally reputed publishers. Abstract of the
proposed paper (not more than 300 words) should
reach us on or before December 31, 2018.

during the conference. The topics of interest include
but are not limited to:
Ø Nanostructured materials
Ø Quasicrystals
Ø Glasses (metallic, oxide and polymer)
Ø Nanoporous materials
Ø High entropy materials
Ø Thin films, coatings and low dimensional materials
Ø Mechanical alloying
Ø Rapid solidification process
Ø Mechano-chemical synthesis
Ø New processing routes for the synthesis of nano and
amorphous materials
Ø Structure of amorphous materials including clustering
and short-range order
Ø Advances in the characterization of nano and amorphous
materials, including in-situ studies
Ø Atomistic modelling of amorphous and nano materials
Ø Phase transformations in nano and amorphous materials
Ø Mechanical behaviour of nano and amorphous materials
Ø Magnetic, transport and optical properties of nano and
amorphous materials
Ø Chemical and bio-chemical properties of nano and
amorphous materials
