Two Symposia related to CNT and graphene will be organized in the framework of EUROMAT2013 (Sept. 8th-13th 2013, Sevilla, Spain)
Symposium A31 : ‘‘Carbon-containing composites and materials’’
This symposium aims at comparing composites of any kind containing Carbon-based elements: carbon fibres, carbon nanotube fibres, dispersed CNTs and graphene.
It will address their fabrication processes, properties, mechanical behaviour, and multifunctional performance, and includes the following areas of interest:
* Processing issues related to integrating nanocarbons (i.e. CNTs, graphenes, carbon blacks, nanohorns...) in composites
* Composites containing both nanocarbon and CF.
* New carbon-based composite materials with CNT fibres
* Advances in fabrication processes and performances of CF composites.
* Multi-scale characterisation of carbon-containing composites
* Nano versus micro in carbon-containing composites
* Multiphasic carbon materials (e.g., carbon electrodes)
Symposium A32 : ‘‘Carbon nanotubes and graphene’’
Carbon Nanotubes and graphene-based nanostructures, are presently the most interesting and
researched low dimensional nano-materials. The symposium will focus on progress and hot topics
related to large scale production/processing, applications and industrial issues of carbon nanotubes
and graphene. This specifically includes:
* Synthesis, sorting and selection methods
* Production and applications of graphene stacked with boron nitride and similar 2D materials
* Functionalization, dispersion, processing of carbon nanotubes and graphene
* Electronic, optical and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes, graphene and related devices
* Biological activity and applications of carbon nanotubes and graphene
* Metrology and standardization
* Applications and industrial issues
