Preface

Preface and Organizing Committee of ICFM2025 for IOP’s Gold Open Access proceedings Journal of Physics: Conference Series The International Conference on Frontier Materials (ICFM) is initiated and sponsored by International Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMRS) and Advanced Materials Alliance of CAST Members Societies (AMAC). ICFM is intended to provide an open and exciting forum for researchers and students from materials science and interdisciplinary fields worldwide to present their latest and most exciting scientific discoveries and innovations in advanced materials. The conference is also designed to offer an international platform for researchers from industrial labs, academic institutes and business to discuss technology development and transfer as well as potential impact of frontier materials on commercial products and industrial applications. The first conference (ICMF2022) was held in May, 2022, by the hybrid approach of accepting both on-site participation and on-line presentation. The second one (ICFM2023) was held in Qingdao International Convention and Exhibition Center (Laoshan), Qingdao, China, Oct. 13-17. The third conference (ICMF2025) was organized by Jiangsu Materials Research Society, and held in Wuxi International Conference Center, Jiangsu Province, China, April 18-22, 2025. ICMF2025 had 18 symposia which were grouped into six topical clusters of Energy and Environmental Materials, Advanced Electronic and Information Materials, Advanced Bio and Bio-Inspired Materials, Advanced Structural Materials, Low-Dimensional Materials, and Design, Preparation and Evaluation for Materials. Around 1000 participants attended ICFM2025, and more than 600 scientists and graduate students presented their lectures at the parallel sessions of 18 symposia. Seven plenary lectures were presented by world-renowned materials scientists. Two specific forums as well as an exhibition on analysis and testing equipment for materials were held simultaneously. During the conference, the awards of IUMRS-FMA (Frontier Materials Awards) to scientists and students who have made outstanding contribution in the field of Frontier Materials were issued.
