DUBLIN — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 25, 2012 — Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/xkbjrg/nanostructured_mat) has announced the addition of the "Nanostructured Materials and Nanotechnology: Volume 1371. MRS Proceedings" report to their offering.

The fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology continue to have a major impact in a number of scientific and technological areas such as health, computing, sensing, catalysis, coatings and aerospace. For the past few years, the Nanostructured Materials and Nanotechnology Symposium, during the International Materials Research Congress, has been aiming to provide an international forum for the presentation of the latest developments in nanotechnology and nanomaterials research. As in previous years, a growing community of scientists, researchers, students and industry representatives gathered to present and discuss the different topics covered by the symposium, which ranged from theory to experiment and included new synthetic routes, processing, characterisation and modelling of nanomaterials, structure-property correlations at the nanoscale, fundamental phenomena occurring in nanoscale systems and processes, and the design, application and industrial development of nanostructured materials and nanosystems. This year the symposium also included a session devoted specifically to low-dimensional carbon nanostructures.

Key Topics Covered:

1. Size and shape dependencies of nanomaterial properties: thermodynamic considerations

2. Synthesis of silver nanostructures by the polyol method and their statistical analysis using design of experiments

3. Characterization of electron-beam-induced silver deposition from liquid phase

4. Synthesis of soluble carcerands

5. Near-equilibrium solubility of nanocrystalline alloys

6. VLS synthesis and characterization of SnO2 nanowires

7. ZrO2 nanopowders doped with Eu: SEM, XRD and UV spectroscopy studies

8. Raman spectrum modification of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots at the bio-conjugation to IgG antibodies

9. Effect of titania grafting on behavior of NiMo HDS catalysts supported on nanostructured silica materials

10. Integrating carbon nanotubes into microfluidic chips for separating biochemical compounds

11. Characterization of dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrices

12. Polymer nanohybrids with high electrical conductivities

13. Study of fracture behavior of polypropylene/MWCNT and polypropylene/m-MMT nanocomposites by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)

14. Halide ion effect in shape transformation from silver triangular nanoprisms to silver nanodisks

15. Shape and stability of silver nanoparticles and their dependence on the conditions of preparation

16. Theoretical study of alkanedithiolated gold clusters

17. Development and characterization of nanocomposites with gold nanoparticles embedded in the nanostructured silicon substrate

18. ZrO2 doped with cobalt nanoparticles to detect UV radiation

19. Effect of Organoclay's characteristics during the preparation of complex ternary system PP-EP/EVA/Organoclay

20. Influence of oxide nanoparticles of Fe, Al and Si on the sintered magnesia for the production of refractory material to be used in secondary ladle metallurgy

21. Features of formation of composite nanopowders based on Al2O3 and AlN

22. Transmission of dirac electrons through graphene multilayers with Gaussian profile

23. Transmission for a finite superlattice with a linear modulation of the potential barriers height

24. Transmission properties of multilayered period doubling and silver-mean graphene structures.
