SYNTHESIS, PROPERTIES and Applications of Nanoparticles is being organised by the SCI Colloid and Surface Chemistry Group with the RSC Colloid and Interface Science Group. The two day conference will be held on Monday 4 February and Tuesday 5 February 2008 at the National Media Museum, Bradford, UK. The meeting offers an excellent opportunity to make contacts for collaboration or commercial exploitation in nanotechnologies.

A networking event on the evening of the first day, brings together academic and industrial experts in aspects of nanoparticles, nanocomposites and ...
