Pure science
Energy absorption, deformation, fracture and fatigue under impact, blast and ballistic loading, from the atomistic scale to the component.
1st International Conference on Materials for Security Technologies · Call for papers open
Materials for a more secure world.
The first international conference on materials for security technologies. Armour composites, protective ceramics, functional coatings, electromagnetic shielding: the materials science of protection, examined across disciplines.
International Conference
When
11 - 12 May 2027
Where
Dresden
From Experts, for Experts
Protection is a materials problem before it is anything else. Armour, blast mitigation, ballistic and electromagnetic shielding all depend on how a material behaves at its limit. MatSecure 2027 brings the researchers, engineers and manufacturers who design, test and field these materials together for two days in Dresden.
Industrial reality
Armour systems, protective structures, personal and vehicle protection, sensing and shielding hardware: what performs in service, what fails, and why.
Open exchange
Present results, compare test methods, and discuss material solutions to the engineering problems of protection.
The Conference Topics
The material classes, test methods and applications that define the MatSecure 2027 program: impact and blast response, protective ceramics and composites, functional coatings, and electromagnetic shielding.
From Abstract to Program
Every DGM Conference follows a transparent path from submitted abstracts to a curated scientific program. The review and program work is carried by members of the materials community.
