This two and a half day meeting was held at the University of Liverpool on 2-4 September 2009 and attracted 100 delegates. It was organised by SCI’s Colloid and Surface Chemistry Group with the RSC Colloid and Interface Science Group, and 20 student members were offered bursaries to attend.
The event included a showcase of national and international speakers involved in some of the most exciting research on the production, processing and applications of nanoparticles (and nanomaterials), with a view to their fundamental chemistries, property measurement, formulation/arrangement and latterly, their commercial exploitation. SCI/RSC plan to hold a three-day event on Nanoscale Science in early July 2011. The first announcement will be released in late 2009.
