Nano-medicine & biotechnology

Plenary Talk

Carefully controlled core-shell nanoparticles can be used in biomedical applications, e.g., as biomedical imaging contrast agents, for hyperthermia and in drug delivery [1, 2], as well as for biotechnological applications such as separation and purification. Unique material functions can be achieved by using nanoscale inorganic cores, such as plasmonic or superparamagnetic interactions with...

292. What Can We Learn from the Nanotoxicology Publications?

Plenary Talk

During the last decade several literature surveys on “Nanotoxicology” have shown that most of the published data on toxicological effects of nanoparticles or nanomaterials is not useful for risk analysis or risk assessment of these materials1, 2. Although the evaluated publications use buzz words such as “toxicological effects”, “risk assessment”, “toxicity” or “genotoxicity” most of them do...

177. How to Predict New Nano-structured Materials with Confidence? -Theoretical Study on Task Specific Ionic Liquid for Metal Extraction from Garbage Caused by Tsunami-

Nanomaterials & nanostructures

Plenary Talk

In the 50 years of the history of DFT proposed by Professor Walter Kohn in 1964, applying this formulation, a number of ab initio calculations have been performed to explain experimental observations and to predict new materials from atomic and electronic levels. Unfortunately, recent trend is to increse number of atoms to treat complex systems and to include parameters such as U for band-gap...

280. Nano-needles, nano-conduits, nano-biocatalysts and nano-biopores On powerful tiny tools for atomic/molecular resolution surface inspections and effective nanoscopic facilitators of electroanalysis, bacterial cell survival and antibiotic design

Albert Schulte (Biochemistry – Electrochemistry Research Unit & Center of Excellence in Advanced Functional Materials School of Chemistry, Suranaree University of Technology, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand)

Plenary Talk

Global work in the Nanoscience & Nanotechnology (NS & NT) section is with great enthusiasm a nonstop challenge in methodology development for high-quality visualization and controlled manipulation of surface and/or bulk matter properties on the nanometre scale. Logical further exciting endeavour in the field is obviously clever utilization of developed skills in the defined delicate tasks for...
