7th New England International Nanomanufacturing Workshop and 2nd International Conference on Nanomanufacturing and Directed Self-Assembly Process
Location: Raytheon Amphitheater, 240 Egan Research Center, Northeastern University Boston, MA
Organizer: NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN)
Contact: Kristen Eaton at keaton@coe.neu.edu
June 18-19, 2009

The goal of the workshop is to address moving nanotechnology from the laboratory to industry-floor manufacturing. The workshop will address current developments and successes in transitioning research into commercial products and serve as a forum for industry, academia, and small business to interact and collaborate. Among the issues addressed:

  • What are the technical barriers to scale-up of directed assembly and other approaches?
  • What are the technical barriers to integrating nanoscale elements, structures, etc. with micro- and macro-structures into systems?
  • What are the currently available risk assessment tools and best environmental, health and safety practices for nanotechnology? Are there regulatory concerns for researchers or manufacturers?
