Special Symposium
Particles that are “nanosize” can be created using many
different types of material. The symposia at Nanotech2006 reflect that
diversity (see, for example, the symposium on Nanoparticles, or the one
on Carbon Nano Structures). But in many cases the nanoparticles alone do
not form useful materials. Their value is only seen when they are
included in composite materials. This symposium focuses on the
challenges of forming composites containing nano-sized structures, and
on new technologies that have been developed to create these materials.
Presentations on novel applications or properties of nano-composites are
also encouraged.
Polymeric materials often serve as the matrix in nano-composites, the
properties of the final materials depend on their intrinsic materials
properties and on processing conditions. Unique effects in polymer
nano-composites are driven not only by the small size, but also by the
unusual shapes and aspect ratios of the additives. The addition of
nano-particles to polymers can provide dramatic improvements mechanical
and barrier properties along with optical transparency and other unique
properties.
Areas of focus in this Symposium include:
- Synthesis & Processes
- Applications in paints and coatings
- Applications in barrier materials
- Designing for optical properties
- Designing for mechanical properties
- Novel Nanocomposite Applications
- Nanoparticle composites
- CNT Nanocomposites
- Fiber Nanocomposites
- Metallic Nanocomposites
- Interfaces
- Characterization
This symposium will be coordinated with the Polymer Nanotechnology
Symposium>, the Nano
Particles & Applications Symposiuma, and the Nanoparticles in Soft
Materials: Colloids Symposium.
Poster Contest
Poster presentations accepted into this symposium will be automatically
entered into the Soft Matter Poster Contest. Entries will be judged
during the poster sessions at Nanotech2007 by a team of Soft
Nanotechnology experts from industry, the NSTI, and the Royal Society of
Chemistry. The poster reporting the most exciting new discovery or
application of soft nanostructured materials will receive a subscription
to the RSC Soft Matter Journal.
