Soft, polymeric and hybrid nanomaterials are explored through their molecular design, nanoscale organization and functional behavior. This session at the World Nanotechnology Conference includes polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, nanogels, nanostructured hydrogels, colloidal systems, organic-inorganic hybrids, nanocellulose and other bio-based materials. Discussions will address self-organization, responsiveness, interfacial interactions, processing and mechanical properties, alongside approaches to combining different material components. The scope extends across biomedical, environmental, electronic and industrial applications without limiting submissions to a particular polymer, formulation or end use.
Abstract Scope and Participation
Abstracts are invited on synthesis, assembly, characterization, rheology, modeling, stimuli-responsive behavior and application development. Contributions examining stability, degradation, reproducibility or integration into larger material systems are also welcome. Polymer scientists, soft-matter physicists, chemists, materials engineers, biotechnology researchers, industrial specialists and students are encouraged to exchange fundamental findings and practical experience across this broad materials community.
