TF014 Interfacial Phenomena within Nanomaterial Surfaces, Dispersions, and Composites
OverviewUnderstanding nanomaterial surfaces, dispersions, and composite properties is essential for developing nanoelectronics and novel thin film technologies. In this session interfacial phenomena such as wetting, spreading, rolling, adhesion and interface dynamics at small length scales are of special interest. Novel methodologies, applications, or characterization techniques that will contribute to the advancement of nanoscale science are also appropriate.
