Conference will address Nanofibres to Nanocomposites
In partnership with Nottingham Trent University, The Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network's annual one-day conference will be held on 27th February 2014. The conference aims to discuss the latest UK developments in nanofibres, nanocomposites and existing and emerging applications.
Nanofibres to Nanocomposites III is the 3rd annual conference which reflects the growing interest in nanofibres to deliver new and innovative nanofibre based products. This event will be of interest to all those who want to learn about the production and use of nanofibres in a wide range of applications, and to meet with leading UK experts from different market sectors and academia in the nanofibres and nanocomposites areas.
Introducing the programme will be Dr Barry Park, Theme Manager at the NanoKTN, with the introduction also including a keynote from Nottingham Trent University on ‘The Birth of Nanofibres with Printed Plastic Electronics’. This will be followed by speakers from The Electrospinning Company, Nottingham Trent University, Revolution Fibres, Oxford Biomaterials, Spi3Dr LTD, University College London, and the University of Surrey.
Dr Barry Park, Theme Manager at the NanoKTN commented, “Commercial nanofibre based products have now begun to reach the market based on electrospinning and other production methods. Our latest event will provide further insight into the new world of nanofibres and nanocomposite products and applications. We hope the conference will provide a great opportunity for networking for both academics and industry, and to explore collaborative partnerships to encourage further nanofibre commercialisation.”
Complementing the conference programme will be a table-top exhibition and academic posters.
