NCGFM-2018

National Conference on Graphene and Functional Materials

(NCGFM-2018)

Venue: CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur 

February 23-24, 2018

Theme: Product Innovation and Technology Development

About CSIR-CMERI:

The CSIR-Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute (CSIR- CMERI) is established in February 1958 with the specific goals of development of mechanical engineering technology. It is the only national laboratory dedicated to develop mechanical  engineering technologies. In India, the number of mechanical engineering technology has accounted for nearly half of the total technology imported. In order to develop indigenously the mechanical engineering related technology for the society R&D can play a key role in self-reliance. As a constituent member under the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, CMERI – a premier establishment, dedicates to research and development –extends over mechanical and allied engineering fields. CMERI has started contributing in the area of Functional and Smart Materials. Extensive R&Ds are being carried out on Graphene synthesis, growth and its applications. The Technology of Large scale Graphene production has been transferred to a industry. Some of the significant developments are Graphene based lubricants, Ultracapaitor, Composites, and Coatings.
