Nano Particles & Applications Committee
Annual Symposium Synopsys
This special symposium focuses on the recent advancements in both dry and wet
nano particle synthesis, integration, distribution and application. Special
interest is also placed on characterization techniques for both particulates and
for polymer nano particles.
This symposium is cross-listed with numerous symposium included the obvious
overlaps with Polymer Nanotechnology. Polymer Nanotechnology is the most rapidly
growing sections of the Nanotech Conference program. Process and
characterization advancements are leading to new functionality and application
of polymer nanoparticles.
Regarding dry nanoparticulates, through evolutionary research, industry today
uses dry technology for manufacture of carbon blacks and simple oxides. It is
practically impossible to use these production units for synthesis of functional
inorganic nanoparticles without going through the same costly and time-consuming
cycle. However, recent major breakthroughs in academia have placed dry synthesis
of nanoparticles on a firm scientific basis, allowing synthesis of these
materials in appreciable volumes and at competitive prices. This has created
renewed interest in dry processes and products.
This symposium focuses on these breakthroughs, leading to integrated process
development for final product performance rather than particle characteristics.
Special emphasis is placed on the degree of particle agglomeration, and its
control, as well as on nanoparticles with designed morphology and layered
composition.

Submit Proposal or Comment to Committee Chair
We encourage you to participate and to submit your interest as either an
Scientific Committee Member or to organize a Scientific Committee*. The
NSTI will provide the infrastructure for each Industrial Committee to
organize and present a focused Symposium at the annual Nanotech
Conference and Trade Show (Nanotech 2008,
Boston, Massachusetts, June 1-5, 2008). Details will be provide upon approval of
proposal.
