Total 39 participants were selected to participate in this
event. The participants are from all over India. Total 13
speakers including two international speakers had given
lectures on various plasma processing of materials and
applications. The lectures covered the following plasma
techniques: ARC PLASMA, HYDROGEN REDUCTION PLAS-

TIONDBD PLASMA.

This online workshop event was organised by Advanced
Materials Technology (AMT) Department of CSIR-IMMT
which has plethora of experience in plasma processing
techniques as well as boasts of advanced modern plasma
research devices. APTIC-2021 was primarily focussed on:
