Call for Posters Closed
We request abstracts for poster presentations
that address the full range of environmental implications and
applications of manufactured nanomaterials and nanotechnology,
from state-of-the-art research to emerging technologies to
full-scale case studies.
Abstracts are to be 400 words or less and can be for either
platform or poster presentations; however, due to the limited
time slots for platform presentations, some qualified platform
submissions will be accepted for poster presentation. The abstract
title, author names and affiliations must be included in the
abstract but will not count as part of the 400-word limit.
Poster abstracts will be
accepted until April 30, 2009.
A biography of 200 words or less for the presenting author
is to accompany every abstract.
Abstracts and biographies longer than their respective 400-word
and 200-word limits will be edited by the conference planners
to comply with the conference program format.
