Scope:

A wide variety of electronic nanomaterials including photonic nanomaterials have been developed up to now. Those nanomaterials include metal nanoparticles of Au, Ag, Ni, FePt and so forth, ceramic and semiconductor nanoparticles of ZnO, TiO2, CdSe and so forth, carbon nanoparticles such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, nanodiamond, fullerene, fullerene nanowhiskers and so forth, and organic nanoparticles of polystyrene, rubrene and so forth. Although those engineered nanomaterials are expected to strongly contribute to the development of high-tech electronics and photonics industries, the safety evaluation of engineered nanomaterials is requisite for their wide use in society.
Hence, this symposium provides an opportunity to know the methods and outcome in the influence assessment of electronic nanomaterials on the health and environment, the worldwide activity for the social acceptance of electronic nanomaterials that is closely related to the international standardization of nanomaterials, and also the state-of-the-art technology of electronic nanomaterials. We will offer a forum for active discussion concerning the sound development and social acceptance of electronic and photonic nanomaterials. A lot of papers are encouraged to be submitted from the wide range of academic and industrial fields of science, engineering, environment, medicine, pharmacy, toxicology and other fields related to the symposium scope.

Topics:

  • Social acceptance of metal, ceramic, semiconductor and organic nanomaterials for electronics and photonics, and nanocarbons (nanodiamond, carbon nanotube, carbon nanofiber, graphene, carbon nanohorn, fullerene, fullerene nanowhisker (nanorod, nanowire), fullerene nanotube, fullerene nanosheet and so forth).
  • Synthesis, properties and application of engineered nanomaterials for electronics and photonics
    Health and environmental safety assessment of engineered nanomaterials related to electronics and photonics
  • International standardization of engineered nanomaterials
