Preliminary Program subject to change
08D01 Nanostructured Thin Films
OverviewThis session will focus on porous inorganic materials with pore sizes from 1 to 100 nanometers. The ability to control the structure of such materials has introduced chemical engineering techniques and expertise into materials crucial to catalysis, separations, drug delivery, fast analysis, chromatography, and other chemical processes dominated by molecular transport in confining environments.
