Conference on nanocarbons, Acquafredda di Maratea, Italy
8 September 2009 - 8 September 2009
Italy
The European Science Foundation (ESF) will hold a conference entitled 'Nanocarbons: from physiochemical and biological properties to biomedical and environmental effect' from 8 to 13 September in Acquafredda di Maratea, Italy.
The general aim of this conference is, thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, to give the different actors of carbon nanotube (CNT) research (physicists, chemists, biologists) the means required to discuss with the other participants and understand each other correctly. Therefore, the conference will propose lectures accessible to scientists of different fields, as well as more specialised lectures in each domain of interest, including the most recent advances on the subject.
Particular attention will be given to accessibility and exchange of competences between the disciplines. Specifically, the programme of this conference focuses on four general topics that are considered by the scientific committee as major axes of CNT research:
- synthesis/characterisation of CNT;
- CNT chemistry;
- biomedicine;
- biological and environmental effects of CNT.For further information, please click:
