About The Workshop
Workshop Objective: To identify common problems and common solutions specific to nanotechnology, manufacturing processes, and performance of nanomaterials in commercial products within widely different industries, including aerospace, automotive, chemical, food, forest products, medical technology, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor. The technical focus will be on the three highest cross-industry priorities identified in previous workshops and meetings as they apply to the design, synthesis, and production of nanotechnology-enabled products:
- Characterizing nanomaterials and enhancing their separation and fractionation to address challenges in commercial production of uniform, high quality, stable, and consistent (reproducible) nanomaterials in high volume
- Understanding and controlling the surface-dependent properties of nanomaterials such as dispersion, aggregation, and adhesion at their interface with a matrix, with an emphasis on non-covalent bonding interactions
- Understanding and controlling multiple properties of nanocomposites
Within each of these topics, common issues include, although are not limited to, measurement, characterization, modeling, performance properties, and environment health and safety concerns.
