Abstract

XIIth Maghreb Days of Material Sciences JMSM’2015OverviewThe JMSM (the XIIth Maghreb Days of Material Sciences) are organized each two years in a Maghreb country, the 2015 edition was held between 19-21 November 2015 on the campus of Faculty of Sciences and Technology Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University of Fez, the imperial city of Morocco.The JMSM event was an opened exchange discussion forum, scientific debate and interchange ideas and knowledge between the Maghreb communities and their national and international colleagues. The conference focused on materials science, from the synthesis step, processes development, to industrial use and exploitation, through modeling and observation of the physicochemical phenomena that govern their functioning. It was also a good opportunity for researchers to establish cooperation relationship, enhance mutual exchanges, and promote industrial research and development, which ensure much better socio-economic integration of the university and strengthening its role as a nucleus of development and pioneer through research and innovation.The JMSM’2015 program included many topics related to Material Sciences namely: Nanotechnologies and new-materials generation, Biomedical and Biology, Photonics, Electronics, Building materials &Heritage, Energy, Environment, Security and Transport.JMSM’2015 has attracted 250 submissions, after the review process, 155 papers have been accepted between oral and posters communications and 40 papers were selected for publication.The conference was well attended by participants from many different organizations including researchers, PhD students, industrials and academics from different countries.All our thanks and acknowledgments go to our sponsors who supported JMSM’2015 Fès, and all those who contributed to the success of this conference. Especially, we would like to acknowledge ERSI Laboratory members, the organizing and scientific committees for their valuable help, time and effort in the peer-reviewing and the organization.Editors
