Welcome to the Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology Committee

The Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology Committee seeks to promote the understanding and active research in nanomaterials and nanotechnology. The field is highly interdisciplinary and this is reflected in the membership of the committee. We aim to develop activities which help communicate nanotechnology and encourage networking between disciplines, including seminars and articles in Materials World. Read our mission statement
