ABOUT THE SEMINAR
Advancements in research activities on Chemical
Technologies attain greater momentum and reached hallmark
in the era of scientific developments. Chemical and
Electrochemical technologies are a challenging as well as
fascinating branch of chemistry and finding applications in
almost all areas of Science and Technology. It is important for
the researchers, educators and developers from academic
institution and industries to know the research and recent
developments that have been made on various aspects of
Chemical and Electrochemical Sciences. For the effective
discussions and interactions, the Department of Industrial
Chemistry, Alagappa University, Karaikudi is organizing a
National Seminar on Frontier Areas in Chemical
Technologies (FACTs-2015) to bring together National
experts from academic, research institutions and industries on
a common platform. The technical sessions of the seminar
consists of invited lectures by eminent speakers and papers for
presentation.
THEME
The seminar is aimed at updating the academicians,
researchers, scientists, and industrialists with the latest
developments in the field and exposing the participants to
innumerable applications in different areas of Chemical and
Electrochemical Sciences. The seminar will provide great
opportunities to get a comprehensive view and meet the most
recognized scientists of the domain.
