*Nanocarbons 2011: Carbon Nanotubes and Related Materials: From 
Physico-Chemical Properties to Biological and Environmental Effects*

6 - 11 September 2011

*Chaired by:*
*Dr. Sophie Lanone*, Inserm U955 - Équipe 04, FR

*Co-Chairs:*
*Dr. Pascale Launois*, CNRS-Université Paris 11, FR
*Professor Philippe Lambin*, University of Namur, BE
*Professor Stephen Klaine*, Clemson University, US

* Programme*

Nanomaterials have specific properties mainly governed by quantum 
physics or surface effects, and significantly different from those of 
macroscopic objects. Emblematic nanomaterials are carbon nanotubes, 
which have generated a worldwide, and highly competitive, scientific 
research activity. The general aim of this conference is, thanks to its 
pluridisciplinary approach, to give the different actors of carbon 
nanotubes (CNT) research (physicists, chemists, biologists) the proper 
level of knowledge required to discuss with the other participants and 
understand each other correctly. The conference will therefore propose 
courses accessible to scientists of different fields, as well as more 
specialized courses in each domain of interest, including the most 
recent advances on the subject. The program will focus on four general 
topics: synthesis/characterization of CNT, CNT chemistry, health effects 
of CNT, and environmental effects of CNT. This conference should allow 
scientists from the different fields to acquire, increase and share 
their specific knowledge, and to make their own research understandable 
to scientists from other disciplines.

* Sponsor a Conference*

This conference will be providing the opportunity for leading scientists 
and young researchers to meet for discussions on the most recent 
developments in their fields of research. We enable collaboration 
between international scientists from EU, first world and emerging 
countries which acts as a catalyst for creating new synergistic global 
contacts across disciplines.

We invite you to join us in harnessing this great potential, working 
towards an even more cohesive scientific force in Europe and beyond by 
contributing to our intense, dynamic and fun events.
