This conference proceedings abstract summarizes presentations from the ICETMT-25 materials science conference, covering advances in nanomaterials, biomaterials, energy storage, smart sensors, and sustainable materials including biodegradable alternatives to conventional plastics.
Abstract The International Conference on Emerging Trends in Material Science and Technology (ICETMT-25), hosted by CMR Institute of Technology, Bengaluru, served as a dynamic platform for global researchers, academicians, and industry experts to share transformative insights in material science. This conference, organized as part of the institution’s Silver Jubilee celebrations, highlighted interdisciplinary advancements spanning nanomaterials, biomaterials, energy storage, green chemistry, smart sensors, and sustainable materials. Plenary and keynote sessions addressed critical challenges such as nanoplastics and biomolecular interactions, antimicrobial resistance, semiconductor heterojunctions for disinfection, novel nanomaterials for catalysis, and palladium-based chemotherapeutics. The conference also emphasized innovative solutions in environmental sustainability, including electrochemical sensing of microplastics, valorization of biomass, and upcycling of electronic waste into functional materials. Researchers presented pioneering work on wide band gap semiconductors for LEDs, magnetic zeolites for pollutant detoxification, and responsive delivery systems for healthcare applications. The deliberations underscored the role of advanced characterization techniques, molecular modeling, and nano-engineering in bridging fundamental science with real-world applications. Importantly, the event fostered interdisciplinary collaborations aimed at addressing global challenges in healthcare, clean energy, and environmental protection. By uniting expertise across domains, ICETMT-25 not only showcased cutting-edge research but also inspired pathways for sustainable innovations and industrial impact. The proceedings of this conference represent a significant contribution to material science literature, offering future directions for scientific exploration and technological transformation.
