ISyDMA’8 secretariat and co-chairs are pleased to announce that the International Symposium on Dielectric Materials and Applications, 8th edition was hosted in the USA during May 12 – 16, 2024.

The thematic scope of the conference covers a wide range of topics related to issues such as energy, environment, biotechnology, electronics, and optoelectronics. The presentations will include, and not be limited to, the following topics: • Dielectric materials for electronics, photonics, and biotechnology: (piezo-electrics, pyroelectrics, ferroelectrics, multiferroics, ceramics, polymers, glasses, composites, and nanostructures, ionic conductors, 3D printing materials, electrocaloric materials, thermos-electrics, dielectrics for superconducting applications, bio-electrics for environmental applications and bioengineering systems, and metamaterials). • Dielectric properties. • Polarization phenomena. • Electric conductivity. • Surface and interfacial phenomena. • Measurement techniques: (Impedance spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, Raman and IR spectroscopy, new diagnostic applications for dielectrics, advanced characterization). • Modeling and theory. • Dielectric devices for biotechnological and industrial applications: (electricity storage, supercapacitors, electrostatic capacitors, electrolyzers, and batteries). • Biomedical applications. • Energy harvesting. • Critical infrastructures.

ISyDMA is a global forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, results, experiences, and concerns in the several perspectives of these materials and is also an opportunity to develop new ideas and collaborations and to be aware of the latest search trends in the dielectrics, nanodielectrics and advanced materials fields and their numerous applications. It is aimed at materials scientists, physicists, chemists, biologists, and electrical engineers engaged in fundamental and applied research or technical investigations on such materials.

It was intended to benefit Ph.D. students, post-docs, researchers, and engineers from public and private research organizations concerned with innovations in these materials and their applications.
