Jointly organised withSchool of Engineering and Technology, Sunway University, Malaysia
The Fifth International Conference on Sustainable Materials and Technologies: Advancing Research and Innovation (ICSMT 2027) continues the legacy of the ICSMT series as a premier international platform for the science, engineering and application of advanced materials. This edition covers the full spectrum of advanced materials — solar and energy, engineering and structural, physics and functional, chemical and polymer, and semiconductor materials for PCBs and next-generation electronics.
The conference will showcase original experimental, theoretical and computational research that translates material discoveries into real-world applications across renewable energy, electronics and semiconductors, manufacturing, healthcare, mobility, construction and environmental protection.
Researchers, scientists, industry professionals, academicians and students from across the globe will engage with eminent keynote speakers on scalability, cost-effectiveness, reliability, circularity and sustainability, accelerating the journey from laboratory research to market-ready innovation.
An autonomous institution on the banks of the River Bhavani at Sathyamangalam, Erode, approved by AICTE, New Delhi, affiliated to Anna University, Chennai, and accredited by NAAC with ‘A+’ grade and NBA. ICSMT is organised by its Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The School of Engineering and Technology, Sunway University, partners with BIT on the ICSMT series, bringing international researchers and keynote speakers to the conference.
Advancing Research
and Innovation
The theme reflects the conference’s commitment to actively accelerating the path from research to innovation. ICSMT 2027 brings together researchers, industry experts and educators to explore innovative strategies in the design, synthesis, characterization and application of advanced and sustainable materials and technologies.
By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across physics, chemistry, materials science, electronics and engineering, the conference aims to inspire future research directions and industry partnerships for a resilient and transformative future.
