NANOSCITECH-2012: International Conference on Nanoscience, Nanotechnology and their applications


NANOSCITECH-2012
February 15-18, 2012


International Conference on Nanoscience, Nanotechnology and their applications
For many years, Nanotechnology has remained shrouded, its benefits being unknown to the society. However today, Nanotechnology is fast becoming a necessity in all the spheres of modern life.
The impact of this cutting-edge technology has become so much more evident, especially in the arenas of health care, industry, environment, agriculture, power, construction and so forth, where it has revolutionized the very face of these sectors. The impact of nanotechnology is all pervasive and as diverse as novel foods, medical devices, chemical coatings, personal health testing kits, sensors for security systems, water purification units, manned space craft, displays for hand-held computer games, and high-resolution cinema screens. Nanotechnology is expected to have an impact on nearly every industry

NanoSciTech-2012 invites original papers from Researchers, Academicians, Scientists, Engineers, technologists, Industrialist and students on one or more of the following topics for presentation (oral & poster) during the Conference:
           
 • Synthesis, Fabrication & Characterization of Nanomaterials
• Nano composites & Bionanocomposites
• Functional Nanomaterials
• Nanobiotechnology & Stem Cell Engineering
• Nanotech-based Drug delivery
• Nanoelectronics & Nanorobotics   
• Nanotech Applications in Energy Sector and Environment
• Modeling & Simulation of Nanosystems
