Properties
and Applications of Nanoparticles
is being organised by the SCI
Colloid and Surface Chemistry
Group with the RSC Colloid and
Interface Science Group. The two
day conference will be held on
Monday 4 February and Tuesday
5 February 2008 at the National
Media Museum, Bradford, UK.
The meeting offers an excellent
opportunity to make contacts for
collaboration or commercial exploitation
in nanotechnologies.
A networking event on the evening
of the first day, brings together
academic and industrial experts
in aspects of nanoparticles,
nanocomposites and nanofunctional
materials research and
development.
A number of complementary
approaches to the synthesis,
measurement and utilisation of
nanoparticles with controlled
size and shape are beginning to
emerge. These are at differing
stages of development, all the
way from milligram scale academic
projects to multi-gram
industrial pilot plants. This
meeting showcases the UK’s
most exciting research in the
production, processing and applications
of nanoparticles (and
nanomaterials). It looks at their
fundamental chemistries, property
measurement, formulation/
arrangement and latterly, their
commercial development.
Some key questions include
the following; what are the current
synthetic approaches to
nanoparticles and nanomaterials
in the UK and beyond? What
methods are currently available
for characterisation and property
measurement of nanoparticles?
What are the properties of
nanoparticles and nanomaterials
artefacts/devices and how
do these differ from bulk
analogues?
The call for submission of
papers for oral presentations/
posters is now open.
