Track 1: Smart Materials
Smart Materials are also known as advanced materials or intelligent materials or responsive materials. These materials can be defined as advanced materials that can respond smartly to environmental changes. The general feature of all smart materials is the fact that one or more properties might be significantly altered under controlled conditions by external stimuli such as stress, moisture, electric fields, magnetic fields, light, temperature etc.. This study focuses on Smart Materials types and applications in various fields.
Smart Materials are becoming more popular because they have various applications as compared to standard materials. These special materials can change their properties such as materials which can change its shape just by adding some heat or can change its phase instantly when placed near magnet.
The new era of "smart materials" will have a significant impact on humanity. For instance, some of them can adapt their properties to the environment, while others have sensory capabilities, some can repair themselves automatically, and some can degrade on their own. These extraordinary properties of "smart materials" will have an effect on every facet of civilization.

Track 2: Smart Ceramics and Composites
Materials made from ultrafine particles are known as smart ceramics. They are inorganic, non-metallic materials that are shaped and then heated to a high temperature to form nitride or carbide materials, such as clay, that are hard, brittle, heat-resistant, and corrosion-resistant. The preparation, inspection, and evaluation of ceramic microstructures is known as ceramicography. Any ceramic substance's crystalline structure and chemical makeup determine its physical qualities. In structural and building materials as well as textile fabrics, mechanical qualities play a crucial role.
The combining of two materials with various physical and chemical properties results in smart composites. Buildings, bridges, boat hulls, swimming pool panels, racing car bodies, shower stalls, bathtubs, storage tanks, imitation granite, and cultured marble basins and worktops are typically made of composite materials.

Smart sensors are tools that use wireless connection and embedded microprocessors to monitor, analyse, and maintain diverse systems. They gather data from the physical environment. They are able to gather environmental data more precisely and with fewer false noise. Despite having a wide range of uses, they are most frequently found in monitoring systems like smart grids, research applications, and security systems.
Smart sensors rely on embedded microprocessors to assist them carry out a variety of tasks, including digital processing, analogue to digital code conversion, interface operations, and computations. In accordance with the information they gather, they also decide when data has to be erased or retained.
To function, they also depend on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology. The sensor can process massive amounts of data in a split second thanks to MEMS. Additionally, it strengthens and improves the sensor's self-calibration capabilities. The MEMS component VLSI transforms gathered data into electrical signals for processing, display, recording, and transport.
