FOREWORD

Even in this era of information revolution provided by electronic networks, symposia and conferences
have an importance of their own, particularly in countries like Pakistan which are scientifically and
geographically isolated from active centers of learning. Of all forms of communications, the one
provided by personal interaction and human touch is the most effective way of sharing scientific and
technological knowledge and its widespread dissemination. Our scientists and engineers suffer actually
from lack of such interaction.
This recognition led to launching of international Nathiagali Summer College on Physics and
Contemporary needs in Pakistan in 1976. However, in view of the fact that the pace of introduction of
new science based technologies is accelerating, a need was felt to keep pace with this rapid growth and
identify promising areas of development relevant to our needs. To fulfill this need it was decided to
start a new series of conferences, to be known as International Bhurban Conference on Applied
Sciences and Technology (IBCAST). The first conference was held on June 10-15, 2002 at a hill resort,
Bhurban. The first four conferences were held at same location and then the venue shifted to the
picturesque lush green city of Islamabad.
Through the untiring efforts of Scientific Secretary of IBCAST, technical and organizing committees,
the conference proved to be a success despite many difficulties, the participants derived great benefit
from invited lectures, organized presentations and impromptu discussions which grew spontaneous on
many occasions. The success of the conference has encouraged us to continue the program; the focus
will however change from year to year. Events such as IBCAST are difficult to organize and sustain,
but from my experience I can say that IBCAST formation was evolutionary in its nature, factual in its
form and continuous in its essence.

INTRODUCTION

In the brief history of engineering industry, a progressive evolution of new materials and design
concepts has occurred from stone to space age. In the quest to fly farther faster and safer, new materials
have been developed through exchange of knowledge, skill and expertise. The organization of 8th
International Bhurban Conference on Applied Sciences and Technology represents a first step in this
direction. The conference was held at National Centre for Physics, Islamabad, Pakistan from January
10 – 13, 2011 to promote the latest state of the art in Advanced Materials. Proceedings of the
conference provide a concise compilation of lectures, talks and research paper presentations. The
papers being published here relate to the emerging topics in Advanced Materials e.g. polymer
composites, nanocomposites, ceramics, thin film coatings and shape memory alloys. All the fields were
covered in detail during technical presentations. Each presentation was followed by very stimulating
discussions. Lively discussion on the frontiers of knowledge in each field made the programme
exciting and enjoyable for the participants.

This conference attracted more than 200 scientists and engineers from national and international
universities, scientific organizations and foreign universities. Active participation of research scientists
and engineers from Nanjing University, China, University of Tsukuba, Japan, Northwestern
Polytechnical University, China, Universite de Nantes, France and National University of Sciences and
Technology, Pakistan made the conference interesting. A large number of scientists and engineers from
R&D organizations, academics institutions and engineering industry participated in the conference. The
poster sessions were held on the 11th and 12th January, 2011. The online video conference by Prof.
Pascal Casari and Prof. Laurent Duclaux, France and followed by interactive discussion with
participants were greatly admired.

During the 04 days of the conference, 50 hours were devoted to the presentations of papers and
lectures. A total of 40 contributed presentations were delivered. There were 30 oral presentations and
10 poster presentations. However, as the number of papers is large and also to maintain quality and
ease of reference for readers, selected papers are being published. All the material has been refereed by
eminent experts in Advanced Materials.
