Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, represented by the College of Sciences and Humanities in Al-Kharj, held the Virtual International Conference on Advanced Materials and Their Applications 2021 (ICAMA 2021), sponsored by His Excellency the Minister of Education, Dr. Hamad bin Mohammed Al Al-Sheikh, in the presence of the university president, Prof. Dr. Abdulrahman bin Hilal Al-Talhi, the university’s vice-rectors, deans and vice-presidents of the colleges, researchers participating in the conference, and a group of university professors.
The university is keen to improve the scientific research system and achieve its goals and mission in the knowledge industry and community service in accordance with the aspirations and pillars of the Kingdom’s 2030 vision. To take advantage of the research outputs to reach what the university seeks to complete the distinguished research system. The conference will focus on several themes, namely:
- Materials Characterization.
- Nanotechnology in Materials Science.
- Advanced Materials for Water Purification.
- Materials for Renewable and Sustainable Energy.
- Catalysts in Petrochemical Industry.
- Carbon Nanomaterials and Nanostructures.
- Advanced Ceramics and Composite Materials.
- Polymeric Materials.
- Plasma and its Applications.
- Nanomedicines.
- Modelling and Computational Material Science.
- Materials Engineering.
- Waste Management
The topics of this conference are of great importance, as materials science is one of the important fields in which the relationship is built between the construction of materials and the knowledge of their properties, and then their development to be new materials with industrial applications in several precise technological fields, such as quantum computing, nuclear and medical sciences, and others.
