We are pleased to announce the International Conference on Atomic Layer Processing of Hybrid Materials 2026 (H-ALP26), to be held in Rijeka, Croatia, bringing together the global community working at the intersection of atomic layer deposition (ALD), molecular layer deposition (MLD), and advanced infiltration techniques such as vapor phase infiltration (VPI), atomic layer infiltration (ALI), or sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS). Building on the momentum of previous Hybrid ALP and VPI/MLD-focused meetings, the 2026 conference will highlight the rapid advancements, emerging applications, and scientific breakthroughs reshaping this dynamic field.
Over the past years, VPI and MLD have progressed far beyond their early roles in hybrid material fabrication. Today, they enable unprecedented control of organic–inorganic interfaces, polymer modification, porous material functionalization, and nanoscale architectures with designer properties. These methods now play a pivotal role across microelectronics, memory devices, membranes and separation technologies, energy storage, photocatalysis, photonic and dielectric coatings, biointerfaces, and sustainable manufacturing.
Hybrid ALP 2026 will be a three-day international conference focused on scientific exchange, technological innovation, and collaboration. The event will feature keynote lectures, invited talks, contributed presentations, poster sessions, and networking opportunities set against the backdrop of Croatia’s vibrant Adriatic coast.
