Nano-Enabled Materials & Devices
Within the Nano-Enabled Materials & Devices theme, this track focuses on nanoscale materials, architectures, and device concepts where size effects, surface chemistry, and interfacial phenomena enable enhanced or entirely new functionality. Contributions are expected to demonstrate clear performance metrics, mechanistic insight, and robust characterization at relevant length scales.
The translation of nano-enabled concepts into dependable technologies increasingly depends on manufacturability, packaging, and stability under practical operating conditions. We invite studies ranging from nanomaterial synthesis and assembly to device integration and reliability evaluation, including failure analysis and aging behavior. Work that addresses reproducibility, metrology, and environmental health and safety considerations is particularly timely, especially for devices intended for field deployment.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Nanomaterials synthesis, assembly, and surface functionalization
- Thin films, coatings, and nanostructured surfaces
- Nano-devices for sensing, electronics, photonics, and bio-integrated systems
- Nanostructure metrology and nanoscale characterization
- Interface engineering in nanostructured materials
- Scalability, manufacturability, and device integration challenges
- Reliability and stability of nano-enabled devices
- Nanoelectronics and nanosensors for harsh environments
- Nanocomposites and multifunctional nanostructures
- Nanowires: growth, heterostructures, integration, device performance
- Packaging, variability, and EHS risk assessment for nanomaterials
