New materials based on innovative processing technologies continue to enrich our daily comfort and standard of living. Sustainable growth is concerned with the responsible use of chemical products, materials and processes that integrate economic, environmental and socio-political aspects inevitable to address the mega-challenges of our time. In this context, the necessity of developing novel materials that overcome their intrinsic theoretical bulk limits and are able to manifest unprecedented material properties, while keeping the fabrication cost and environmental footprint to a minimum is crucial. Research and development related to controlled synthesis and processing of nanostructured, nanocomposite and hybrid functional materials offers the greatest potential to efficiently contribute to such essential goals, for instance, by discovering processes that are ecological and will enable both energy and resource efficiencies.
This symposium will particularly focus on the functional and multifunctional inorganic materials and techniques that offer advanced processing, improved properties, and low-cost/low-temperature synthesis, with a strong focus on the recent innovation in nanotechnological approaches and the assessment of their industrial impact. In particular, special emphasis will be given to novel synthesis approaches, functionalization, processing, and characterization of nanoparticles, nanowires, nanoscopic films and their heterostructures. Application of nanostructures in catalysis, energy and sensing applications, nanocomposites in structural lightweight materials, nanostructured coatings for photovoltaic, bio-medical and optical applications will form the major scientific thrust areas. It will provide an international forum for the presentation of technological advances, and latest research on the state-of-the-art in innovative processing and device applications of new materials to meet the challenges of sustainable energy and environment technologies. Interested and committed individuals from academia, national laboratories, industries and start-up companies are invited to contribute by submitting their abstracts on the following and related topics.
