CALL FOR PAPERS

Objective:

The objective of this Conference is to highlight current and future multidisciplinary research on nanostructured materials and development of nanotechnologies with the primary focus on reinforce of connection between the fundamental science, engineering and commercialization of nanostructures; between universities, governmental laboratories, academic institutions, private research sector and industry. This Conference aims to assess the current status and to identify future priority directions of fabrication, research, design and applications of nanocomposites, carbon nanotubes, self-assembled supramolecules, nanostructured bulk solids, films and coatings, quantum dots and wires. Particular emphasis will be placed on developing close interactions among scientists and engineers, and fostering future transdisciplinary and multi-institutional collaboration in this new and rapidly growing area.
