About the Conference

Materials serve as the bedrock of high-end manufacturing, and smart materials represent one of the most pivotal research frontiers in the development of high-tech new materials. These unique materials possess the ability to actively sense changes in their external environment and respond with reversible property alterations. By bridging the inherent gap between traditional structural and functional materials, they are poised to trigger a profound revolution in the field of materials science.

From theoretical breakthroughs in advanced laboratories to practical industrial applications, smart materials are unlocking immense innovative potential across diverse sectors, including biomedicine, aerospace, energy & environment, and sensing devices. To dismantle the barriers between research and industry and to foster global technological exchange and technology transfer，the WCSM 2026 is officially launched. The congress is dedicated to building an international platform for dialogue between academia and industry, facilitating the efficient translation of cutting-edge research achievements into industrial applications, and establishing a robust bridge for innovation in the smart materials sector.
