Portland, OR. The annual Microscopy & Microanalysis Meeting is the premier meeting for materials scientists, biological scientists, and nanotechnologists who use microscopy or microanalysis in their professional activities. Microscopy & Microanalysis 2010 will be no exception! In recent years there has been a special emphasis placed on fostering greater inclusiveness in the Microscopy & Microanalysis meetings. We welcome researchers and technologists who may not routinely attend this meeting. To this end, there are several areas of specific focus for M&M 2010, including an exciting plenary, opening symposium. The keynote speaker of this plenary session will be Professor Mark Welland of the University of Cambridge, UK. His talk, entitled "What Microscopy Can Tell Us about Alzheimer's and Related Diseases," will feature extensive application of scanning probe techniques. Professor Welland's presentation will serve as an anchor for symposia in scanning probe microscopy in both biological and physical science. There will be an extensive surface science symposium that will feature many of the techniques that are complementary to scanning probe microscopy, including Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and secondary ion mass spectrometry. Secondary ion mass spectrometry, classically a technique limited to materials and geological sciences, has become a popular and extremely powerful technique in chemical mapping in biological systems as well. This year we will celebrate the accomplishments of George Palade with the Palade Memorial Symposium, for his work in microscopy that led him to determine the intricate inner workings of cells. And, as always, we will continue to feature several symposia that emphasize microscopy and microanalysis of materials in nanotechnology and advanced energy systems. ]]> 1154 http://www.materialstoday.com/view/2240/10th-international-conference-on-the-structure-of-surfaces-icsos10/ From: 01 August 2010

To: 15 January 2011

Delhi, India. The current interest in polymer matrix based nanocomposites has emerged largely due to research involving exfoliated clay, functionalized carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, exfoliated graphite (graphene), nanocrystalline metals and a host of additional nanoscale inorganic filler or fiber modifications. The reinforcement aspects of nanocomposites are the primary area of interest. However, mechanical properties, barrier properties, flammability resistance, electrical/electronic properties, membrane properties, polymer blend compatibilization etc. are of equal concern. Understanding the property changes as the particle (or fiber) dimensions decrease to the nanoscale level is a key to optimize the properties in resultant nanocomposite. Keeping this objective in mind, this conference is being organized to bring the scientists, academicians and researchers who are working in the multidisciplinary field of polymer nanocomposites on one platform where they can deliberate and disseminate the information on various aspects of polymer nanocomposites.]]> 2266 http://www.materialstoday.com/view/2219/pcsi38-38th-conference-on-the-physics-and-chemistry-of-surfaces-and-interfaces/ From: 16 January 2011

To: 15 May 2011

Kos, Greece. Characterisation is the connection between an abstract material model and its real world behaviour. Until recently,engineering materials could be characterised successfully using relatively simple testing procedures. As materials technology advances, interest is growing in materials possessing complex meso-, micro- and nano-structures, which to a large extent determine their physical properties and behaviour. The modelling of the material is becoming increasingly complex and it requires the use of complex numerical models. A trend is being established where characterisation proceeds through a combination of numerical modelling and experimental testing. The objective of this conference is to bring together researchers who use computational methods, those who perform experiments, and of course those who do both, in all areas of materials characterisation, to discuss their recent results and ideas, in order to foster the multidisciplinary approach that has become necessary for the study of complex phenomena. Topics of interest for this conference range from generic characterisation methods to damage assessment and application to particular materials. Of particular interest is the synergy between computational methods and experimental procedures.]]> 2274 http://www.materialstoday.com/view/2363/aeromat-2011-conference-and-exposition/ From: 23 May 2011
