Session Description:
This symposium provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary forum for researchers to discuss the latest advancements in electromechanical and mechano-electrical materials. The scope bridges the gap between fundamental condensed matter physics, material science, and practical engineering applications. We invite submissions covering the entire spectrum of research: from computational discovery and novel material synthesis (bulk, thin films, low-dimensional structures) to advanced processing, characterization, and system-level integration.
Special emphasis is placed on emerging trends, including lead-free ceramics, ferroelectric memory, flexible/stretchable electronics, and high-performance nanogenerators (PENG/TENG). The session aims to foster collaboration towards the development of self-powered systems for IoT, healthcare monitoring, robotics, and sustainable energy solutions.
 
Topics:

1. Advanced Ferroelectric and Piezoelectric Materials: Ceramics, single crystals, polymers, and lead-free ceramics and composites.
2. Emerging Ferroelectrics: Thin films, 2D materials, and Hafnia-based devices for memory and computing.
3. Triboelectric Nanogenerators (TENG): Novel materials, surface engineering, and fundamental mechanisms.
4. Energy Harvesting Technologies: PENG, TENG, and hybrid power sources for blue energy and micro-power.
5. Flexible and Wearable Electronics: Stretchable devices, e-skins, and bio-compatible materials.
6. Smart Sensors and Actuators: Self-powered sensing systems, ultrasonic transducers, and haptics.
7. Theory and Modeling: DFT, phase-field simulations, and AI-driven material discovery.
8. System Integration: Power management, storage coupling, and applications in IoT/Healthcare.
