Welcome to The 22nd International Symposium
on Eco-materials Processing and Design
( ISEPD 2024 )
The International Symposium on Eco-materials Processing and Design (ISEPD) was established by the international cooperation of Japan, Korea, and China, and the 1st symposium was held in Korea in February 2000. Till now, the ISEPD conference has been held annually, and the venue has expanded to other Asian Countries: Thailand, Vietnam, Nepal, and India. Starting from the last year of the 20th century, the ISEPD has provided valuable occasions to get-together wide-range of researchers for exchanging their knowledge of science and engineering of eco-materials for more than 20 years, and the community is continuously expanding in not only Asia but also worldwide.
Now, the economy and industries are conspicuously developing around the world, including in Asia. Industrial development is derived from the scientific activities supported by researchers and engineers. The worldwide issue is the global environment. In addition, the last few years of the coronavirus pandemic affected our lifestyle, the worldwide economy, and industry. So how will we be able to protect the environment, keep our lives safe and healthy, and develop a sustainable society. The materials processing and design might be the keys to solving these issues.
It is my great honor to announce that The 22nd International Symposium on Eco-materials Processing and Design (ISEPD 2024) will be held in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, on January 21–24, 2024. The ISEPD 2024 conference will cover advancements in research, production, and use of eco-materials. The symposia series offers material researchers and users the opportunity for new knowledge on eco-materials in the fields of green processing, advanced materials, energy conversion, environmental protection, surface coating manufacturing, long-term usage, bio-materials for health care, and AI materials. And it’s a great opportunity for all participants to share their research, various ideas, and knowledge covering all fields of eco-materials. It’s exciting to see many international participants join us. Besides academic experience, the participants will be impressed by the local activities and culture. We hope all participants will gain the most experiences from this conference at Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.
ISEPD2024 ANNOUNCEMENT
Welcome Message from President of Materials Research Society
On behalf of the Materials Research Society of Thailand (MRS), it gives me great pleasure to wish a very warm welcome to all participants to: The 22nd International Symposium on Eco-materials Processing and Design (ISEPD 2024).
Our previous conferences, including MRS-Thailand 2017, MRS Thailand 2019, IUMRS-ICA 2020, MRS-Thailand 2021, and MRS-Thailand 2023, were successfully organized. These conferences served as a common ground for scientists from around the world to present new ideas, share experiences, gain insights into cutting-edge materials research and education, and stimulate initiatives for collaboration.
The ISEPD 2024 conference will encompass various fields of eco-materials research, including Green Manufacturing and Processing of Materials, Advanced Eco-Materials, Energy Conversion and Storage, Environmental Protection Materials, Surface Coatings, Additive Manufacturing and Long-Term Use Materials, Bioinspired and Biocompatible materials for health care, Artificial Intelligence-Based Computational and Data-Driven Materials Engineering, Material Intelligence: Highly-efficiency inmaterial AI computing, Hydrogen production and Applications, and Materials Education Forum : Education Today, Innovation Tomorrow.
In addition to the scientific program, participants will have the opportunity to explore the cultural richness and traditions of the city of Nakhon Ratchasima. This province, also known as Korat, is the most prosperous in the Northeast region of Thailand. With its mainly plateau and mountainous terrain, Korat boasts fascinating traditions, warm hospitality, splendid natural scenery, and remarkable historical sites. Notable attractions include Khao Yai, Thailand's oldest national park and a recent World Heritage site, and the Khmer Temple at Phimai, an important provincial capital of the Angkor Empire. While attending ISEPD 2024, we aim to extend our hospitality to ensure you feel entirely at home."
In closing, I would like to express my gratitude to the Materials Research Society of Thailand, Suranaree University of Technology, and our co-organizers for their valuable contributions. Special thanks are extended to the various committees whose hard work and dedication over several months has brought us to this point and made this conference possible. Last but not least, sincere thanks to all participants, both from within Thailand and from overseas, for supporting this event by sharing your knowledge and experience."
I wish you all a rewarding and enjoyable stay here in Nakhon Ratchasima at the ISEPD 2024 International Conference
Prof. Dr. Santi Maensiri
President of Materials Research Society, Thailand (MRS-Thailand)
