Nanostructured Materials and Nanotechnology: Volume 1371

The fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology continue to have a major impact in a number of scientific and technological areas such as health, computing, sensing, catalysis, coatings, and aerospace. For the past few years, the Nanostructured Materials and Nanotechnology Symposium, during the International Materials Research Congress, has been aiming to provide an international forum for the presentation of the latest developments in nanotechnology and nanomaterials research. As in previous years, a growing community of scientists, researchers, students, and industry representatives gathered to present and discuss the different topics covered by the symposium, which ranged from theory to experiment and included new synthetic routes, processing, characterization and modeling of nanomaterials, structure-property correlations at the nanoscale, fundamental phenomena occurring in nanoscale systems and processes, and the design, application, and industrial development of nanostructured materials and nanosystems. This year the symposium also included a session devoted specifically to low-dimensional carbon nanostructures.
