Aims and Scope

The Proceeding of International Symposium on Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology (iSAMN) is an open-access publication that compiles a final collection of peer-reviewed papers presented at iSAMN. Established in 2017 as the Symposium on Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology (SAM2017), iSAMN has become a leading international platform for the dissemination of innovative research in nanoscience, nanotechnology, and advanced materials.

The Proceeding of iSAMN focuses on a specific annual theme, featuring a diverse range of topics that highlight cutting-edge research, technological innovation and real-world applications.  

The proceeding aims to provide a global forum for students, researchers, academicians, and industry experts to exchange insights, foster collaboration, and address current challenges in nanoscience, nanotechnology, and advanced materials.

The publication welcomes high-quality contributions, including original research and review papers as well as case studies presented at the conference. All submissions undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure academic integrity and relevance.
