Nanoparticle Characterisation – Challenges for the Community

Monday 4th July 2016, Institute of Physics, London

Visit us at Nanoparticle Characterisation – Challenges for the Community, a one day conference organised by the IOP (Institute of Physics) Materials and Characterisation Group. The event will consist of presentations from experts in manufacturing and characterisation. It is designed for anyone involved in nanotechnology with an interest, but not necessarily expertise, in nanomaterial characterisation.

As nanotechnology becomes  a mainstream discipline, there is an important challenge of characterising both starting material and that produced during the lifetime of a product. Characterisation is an essential requirement for product and process development, quality control and health and safety.

There are many tools available for characterising materials, which can provide vital insights and information about the nanoscale. The conference will cover solid state physical and chemical characterisation techniques. There will be discussions about the gap between what is theoretically possible and more practical issues, potential artefacts and future requirements.
