At the same time, we keep an eye on the entire value chain of piezocomposites, from piezoceramic and other piezoelectric materials, and component technologies to applications – always taking into account regulatory requirements for the production and use of materials. Recent findings in advanced characterization methods and equipment are of particular interest.
The symposium will highlight three main research and application focuses:
- Subsea applications: discover the latest developments in utilizing piezocomposites for underwater communication, sonar, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and energy harvesting applications for self-powered sensors.
- Ultrasonic applications: explore the use of piezocomposites in medical ultrasound, non-destructive testing and structural health monitoring, including ultrasound tomography and scanning acoustic microscopes.
- Electromechanical applications: learn about the latest results in the application of piezocomposite actuators and transducers in mechanical structures, e.g. for de-icing, vibration control and shape morphing.
In addition, ISPA 2026 encourages submissions related to piezoelectric composites designed for extreme thermal, mechanical, or chemical conditions and application cases from aerospace, navy, energy, mobility, and other sectors facing frontier challenges.
The ISPA 2026 will feature keynote presentations, technical sessions, networking opportunities and an industry exhibition.
ISPA is organized by Fraunhofer IKTS together with Smart Material GmbH.
Mark your calendars for September 16–18, 2026, and join us at ISPA 2026 to be a part of this exciting symposium dedicated to advancing the field of piezocomposite applications.
We look forward to welcoming you to ISPA 2026!

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
