Overview


The ExtreMat Project

Objectives
ExtreMat is a FP6 Integrated Project, aiming at a break-through in materials research for applications in extreme environments
Structure
ExtreMat research comprises the areas “Self-passivating protection materials”, “Heat sink materials”, “Radiation-resistant materials” and “Materials system engineering”
Partners
ExtreMat project partnership combines the unique expertise of 37 institutions from all over Europe

Review ExtreMat Conference

  The 1st International Conference on New
  Materials for Extreme Environments was held in
  San Sebastian, Spain, from 2nd to 4th June.

150 scientists from all over the world attended the conference and discussed latest developments on new materials and the corresponding crosscutting processing technologies, mainly generated within the FP6 Intergrated Project ExtreMat. Starting from the viewpoint of the operational environment and the required functions, the Congress covered theoretical materials modelling and engineering, the corresponding atomic bulk, interface and surface processing, and functional design of these composite materials on the nano- and microscopic level.

The presentations of the ExtreMat Conference can be downloaded directly from the conference website.
