18 -19 March 2009: The Royal College of Physicians, London, UK

Innovations in Textiles 2009
Smart, Nano and Technical Textiles for Medical, Industrial and Clothing Applications

Programme and further information >>

The Institute of Nanotechnology has previously organised three international conferences on textiles, providing an international platform where a diverse community of professionals from industry, academia and fashion can come together to share information, research findings and practical experiences – ranging from nano to smart textiles.

Building on the success and popularity of previous textile conferences the IoN is organising a further conference in London on March 18th - 19th 2009 on this subject, bringing together multiple disciplines and various technologies and developments in the textiles arena.  The conference will have an application side, as to where textile developments can be used by various industries, as well as keeping the audience up to date on the latest technologies and ideas being developed.

CALL FOR PAPERS - Authors are invited to submit papers for oral and poster presentations. Abstracts for presentations should be emailed to: gemma.mcculloch@nano.org.uk

2009 Albert Franks Memorial Lecture given by Richard Jones:

'What Next for Nanotechnology?'

Early applications of nanotechnology have exploited the exciting new properties that matter exhibits at the nanoscale. Increasingly we will see new applications with considerably more functionality. Some of these will exploit quantum properties in increasingly sophisticated ways, while others will emulate the intricate mechanisms of cell biology.

Many of these potential applications will help us meet the pressing needs of society in areas such as energy and medicine, though attention needs to be paid to addressing potential risks, and the broader societal and ethical implications of nanotechnologies, in order to retain public support.

One-day Course: 'What is Nanomedicine?'

This introductory one-day “What is Nanomedicine?” module will provide those with an existing involvement or interest in medicine or medical science with a broad overview of some of the most important aspects of, and developments in, the rapidly growing new field of nanomedicine.

This course will give insights into the application of nanoscience and nanotechnology to:
Medical imaging; in vitro diagnostics; biosensors and in vivo diagnostics; regenerative medicine; advanced and “smart”; medical materials; drug design and targeted delivery; specialist medical fields, e.g. cardiovascular medicine and oncology
