This meeting will focus on the latest research into self-assembly for nanostructure fabrication in its broadest sense and the implication of this research for bottom-up and top-down nanomaterials synthesis.

This is particularly timely as the recent Royal Society report on nanotechnology has identified self-assembly as an area of key importance underpinning de elopments in the production of nanomaterials, nanowires, bionanotechnolgy, including biopolymers and lithographic techniques for the electronic/semiconductor sectors.

Note: If you would like to present a poster at this meeting, please send a short abstract to CNNPosters@mmsconferencing.com
