The Rheology and Materials Processing Centre (RMPC) of RMIT University is organising an international symposium on "Recent Developments and Applications in Polymer Nanostructured-Materials" in Melbourne, Australia. The symposium will run from June 1-3, 2009 in Melbourne, and will be attended by leading researchers from Australia, US, Canada, Japan, South Korea, India and Europe.
Nanotechnology to Discuss Recent Developments" />
The stated objective of this Symposium is to bring together leading researchers in nano-materials including nano and bio composites and to discuss recent developments in preparation, processing and ultimate properties characterisation of these materials, their current applications and future market potentials.
A highlight will be the keynote presentation by Prof Sati Bhattacharya or RMIT University which will focus on the development of a revolutionary nanopigment. The nanopigment, with exceptional properties in duration of its fluorescence and which does not leach in commercial products, has been developed by RMIT , NanoVic and a local colouring company over the last four years. The intellectual property has been protected under a patent. The product is currently being commercialised by NanoVentures Australia, and the partners expect to announce a major partnership before or during the Symposium. For information about the nanopigment project, contact Dr Ravi Krishnamurthy at [email protected].
