Pushed from the great deal of scientific and technological excitement attracted from more than a decade by the new carbon nanomaterials, a great variety of inorganic 1-D nanostructures (nanotubes, nanowires, nanofibers, nanobelts) and their composites are being extensively investigated from the fundamental physical properties to applied materials research in nanoelectronics, nano-photonics, energy production and storage, sensors, catalysis, biomedicine, structural applications, etc.
Essential to exploit the advantages deriving from the nanoscale and to achieve a deep understanding and control of relationships among synthesis, structure and properties has been the identification of refined growth techniques and the development of appropriate structural and functional characterization tools at the nanoscale. Research is now focused on further refining basic knowledge on quantum confinement effects, on scaling up reliable and reproducible production processes and in opening new perspectives for applications. The development of higher-Ievel multi-functional nanostructures integrating novel/multiple functionalities by controlled doping and compounding strategies featuring complex hierarchical and hybrid organic-inorganic heterostructures is actively pursued as a view to approach efficient nanoscale frameworks/devices design and fabrication.
This symposium aims to bring together experts from different disciplines to discuss most recent progress in theory, synthesis, characterization, and assembly of inorganic 1-D multifunctional nanostructures as well as the perspectives opened by exploiting their potential for ongoing and future applications.
