4-6 November 2004 - Nano-2004-India.

Nanomaterial technology is receiving a great deal of attention in the coatings industry today. Several approaches within this technology can be used to achieve organic-inorganic nanocomposite or nanostructured coatings. These approaches include incorporation of preformed nanoparticles in organic resin systems, in-situ generation of nanoparticles or nanophases, and other nanostructuring mechanisms....

The convergence of nanotechnology and biotechnology is creating exciting new possibilities for SBE members. This is slightly ironic, since many would claim that nature has been using nanotechnologies for several billion years, taking the basic building blocks of elements and small molecules, and combining them to build useful devices from ......
