Title: Materials Characterization Techniques with Live Demonstrations

Date: September 18, 2025

About Workshop:

The School of Advanced Sciences (SAS), VIT-AP University is pleased to organize the one-day workshop focused on materials characterizaon techniques of great importance in fundamental and applied research. The techniques include spectral, thermal, electrical, morphological, mechanical and phase characterizations-based on advanced instruments without which designing new materials, synthesis and tailoring properties as desired would be farfetched. The workshop forms a platform for imparting the Physics behind different techniques; the operating principles and working mechanisms of analytical instruments based on these principles and characterization of materials subjected to different processing conditions. This will be followed by real-world examples to illustrate the significance of materials characterization in the development of advanced engineering materials for specified applications. Instruments such as X-ray Diffractometer, UV-visible Spectrometer, Impedance Analyzer, Electrochemical Analyzer, Differenal Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) form quintessential analytical tools for an advanced materials characterization laboratory.
