2019 International Symposium on New Piezoelectric Materials and Acoustic Devices (2019-ISNPMAD) was successfully held in the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SICCAS) from May 23th to 25th, 2019.

The symposium was co-organized by SICCAS, Shanghai Acoustics Laboratory of Chinese Academy of Sciences (IACAS) and Shanghai Acoustical Society (SAS). Prof. LI Guorong from SICCAS was the chairman. He presided over the opening ceremony. Prof. WANG Genshui, the vice director of Information Materials and Devices Research Center of SICCAS, delivered the welcome speech. Prof. XU Weijie who was the director of IACAS and Prof. MAO Dongxing who was the general secretary of SAS attended the symposium.

With the theme of “New Piezoelectric Materials and Devices”, the symposium covered 4 subjects, including Piezoelectric Materials and SAW devices, Lead Free Piezoelectric Materials, Thin Films and Devices, Piezoelectric Single Crystals and Transducers. The symposium attracted over 100 experts, researchers and entrepreneurs from China, Japan, Korea and Slovenia to exchange their research progress. World-renowned experts were invited to give the oral presentations and to share the research experience on high-performance transducer, high-strain piezoelectric materials, piezoelectric composite materials, flexible piezoelectric materials, etc.

In addition, a lab tour was organized. The attendees visited the laboratories in IACAS and SICCAS.
