Theme
The theme of AMLCI Materials Day 2026 (MD26) “Polymers & Elastomers” recognizes the unique role these materials play in our daily lives. Bestowed with additional liquid crystalline properties, these materials are studied and used as multi-responsive materials in actuators, soft robotics, cell scaffolds, and energy generation. MD26 will explore the fundamental science behind and future groundbreaking applications toward programmable smart materials that occur at the interface between polymers/elastomers and liquid crystals.
