Preliminary Program subject to change
08D00 Nanostructured Thin Films
OverviewThis session will focus on ordered porous inorganic films with pore sizes up to 100 nanometers and the nanostructured films that are precursors to these materials. Presentations on the control of structure, orientation, and composition are invited. Also, presentations on developing films for diverse applications such as electronics, thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, fuel cells, catalysis, sensors, separations, drug delivery, chromatography, and other chemical processes are also welcome.
