TF018 Chemical Engineering Principles for Nanotechnology
OverviewThis is a plenary session sponsored by the AIChE Nanoscale Science and Engineering Forum (NSEF). The goal is to highlight chemical engineering contributions to nanotechnology. The speakers in this session will provide a broad perspective of chemical engineering principles and contributions to nanotechnology that would be of interest to industrial scientists entering nanotechnology or academic scientists wishing to learn about new research areas. Four distinguished speakers will be invited to cover a range of nanotechnology topics including nanofabrication, nanostructured materials, nanodevices, and bionanotechnology.
