SYMPOSIUM A
SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION OF NANOPARTICLES AND NANOCOMPOSITES

This symposium is oriented to the synthesis, characterization and theory of nanostructured materials, with special focus on nanoparticles processing, as well as their application as building units on electronic and optical devices and on biology, chemistry and biophysics. We also suggest the submission of manuscripts related to the application of nanostructured materials in energy conversion and storage devices.

Manuscripts related to the synthesis, characterization, processing and simulation of nanoparticles and nanocomposites are suggested, but not limited, in the following topics:

• Synthesis and processing of metallic and oxide nanoparticles;

• Synthesis of semiconductor nanoparticles (Quantum dots);

• Electronic and spectroscopic characterization of nanoparticles and nanocomposites;

• Synthesis of carbon nanotubes, nanowires and nanobelts of semiconductor;

• Impact of nanostructured materials in energy conversion and storage devices;

• Nanostructured materials for energy conversion and storage devices: synthesis, characterization and application;

• Simulation of structure and properties of nanostructured materials.

Keywords: nanoparticles, nanocomposites, nanostructured materials
