| Scope |
This symposium will address the application, fabrication and fundamental materials science of nanomaterials. Nanomaterials are a class of materials whose morphology, structure or performance is dominated by phenomenon attributed to the “nano” length scale (<100 nm). This symposium will also address technological issues about the scale up and integration of nanomaterials into functional architectures and bulk systems for engineering applications.
Topics of interest to nanomaterials include, but are not limited to:
+ Synthesis of nanomaterials including nanoparticles, nanowires, nanoribbons, thin films, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, etc.
+ Use in electronic, magnetic, mechanical, thermal management, catalysis, or other scientific applications
+ Energy harvesting, photovoltaics, batteries or other energy capture/storage/delivery materials
+ Use as a building block for complex or hybrid devices and integrated systems, including nanoscale positioning and patterning
+ Use in sensing biological, chemical or other toxins
+ Nanoscale modeling studies
+ Engineering applications of bulk structural nanomaterials and integration of functional nanomaterials into devices.
A special panel discussion session will be hosted relating to commercial insertion of nanomaterials. This panel will include scientists, entrepreneurs, VC, industry and academia.
Another special session will focus on nanomaterials and society. Speakers are sought in the areas of environmental, health, energy, public policy, ethical, and legal issues or implications. |
