The cross-study of ultrasound technology and materials science has a history of nearly 100 years. On the one hand, a series of nonlinear effects such as cavitation and acoustic flow of ultrasound can significantly affect the material synthesis and manufacturing process, which is an effective way to regulate the properties of materials, while the propagation characteristics of ultrasound in the material also provides a new way to analyze and characterize the structural properties of materials. On the other hand, magnetostrictive materials, piezoelectric ceramics and other materials science research results strongly promote the development of ultrasound technology.

"Ultrasonic materials science and technology", an emerging interdisciplinary direction mainly includes the following five aspects: First, the generation of ultrasound required for the design and preparation of functional and structural materials and structural properties; second is based on new materials, high-performance ultrasonic energy converter, transducer and actuator design and manufacturing; third, the synthesis, manufacture and performance control of new materials in high-intensity ultrasonic fields; fourth, the use of ultrasonic analysis and characterization of the structure and properties of materials; and fifth, the physicochemistry of ultrasonic fields as well as the new phenomenon of new laws of biomedicine.

According to incomplete statistics, there are hundreds of colleges and universities, research institutes and enterprise units engaged in ultrasound and materials cross research, and have achieved rich research results. In order to promote the development of this cross-disciplinary, relying on the Chinese Materials Research Society to set up a "ultrasound materials science and technology" as the theme of the second level of academic organizations, to provide relevant scientific and technological personnel with a high-level academic exchange platform.
