Themes of the workshop                             (go back to top of page)

 

The workshop aims to bring together specialists from different fields in order to stimulate exchange of ideas, creation of research projects, training of students.

 

Synthesis of new materials, surface functionnalization, nanofabrication, nanostructures or societal impacts are areas covered and interconnected within this symposium :

 

Session 1: Synthesis of nanoparticles

Nanoparticles are building blocks for nanofabrication by “bottom-up” approach. Depending on their composition, they can emit, transmit or modify electronic or light signals, get anchored onto supports or capture molecules. Adequately combining their morphological, optical, electrical, chemical and / or biomolecular properties during their implementation is a challenge involving materials sciences, physics and chemistry.

 

Session 2: Surface functionnalization and addressing

Functionnalizing, that is to say, modifying chemical and / or biological functions of a surface, with sub-micronic precision, provides a tool to capture accurately individual nanoparticles on a device. This session will present various strategies to specifically address nano-objects onto systems used for instance within the fields of electronics or sensors.

 

Session 3: Nanotubes and nanofabrication

Carbon nanotubes can be used as electronic connectors, mechanical or vibrating antennae. This session will demonstrate approaches to build, sort, arrange and set correctly nanotubes on systems (transistors, sensors).

 

Session 4: Systems and nanostructures

How to properly combine multifunctional nanoparticles, functionalised surfaces, addressing technologies, nanotubes or nanowires onto systems manufactured by "top-down” approach ? This session will present devices used for information technology (single electron transistors, 3D electronic components, nanophotonics) and medical engineering (microsystems for biology).

 

Session 5: Societal impact

In addition of technological assets, the workshop will also be an opportunity to address the potential impacts of these research areas for our society, and talk about democratic issues related to this domain.
