3rd NASA-NIST Workshop on Nanotube Measurements |
Kalman Migler Angela Hight Walker
|
NIST, Gaithersburg, MD: Red Auditorium, Lecture Room A, Lecture
Room B, and Hall of Flags |
The goal of the NASA-NIST Workshop Series devoted to Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes is to focus the community’s attention on the issues of nanotube quality and characterization. Leading experts convene to discuss forefront efforts in the areas of dispersion, purity, and characterization. The output of the second meeting was a Recommended Practice Guide, which formed the basis for the current ISO documentary standards activities in single wall carbon nanotubes. The goal for this third meeting is to capture and disseminate rapid advances in the development of purification methods to produce high quality and in the increasingly sophisticated methods to characterize them. We will discuss emerging nanotube applications and environmental, health and safety concerns which are driving the need for high quality, well characterized nanotubes. We will seek community feedback on efforts to develop both documentary standards and standard reference materials that are based on these advances. The Workshop will feature Plenary Lectures, invited technical presentations, two breakout sessions and a poster session. Workshop attendees will:
