The scope of the iPlasmaNano conferences is plasma nanoscience/nanotechnology and its applications.
Topics to be covered include:
- Fabrication of inorganic nanomaterials and nanostructures using vacuum or atmospheric plasmas or ion beams and control of their functionality and surface properties
- Fabrication of organic nanomaterials and nanostructures and control of their functionality (materials include (but are not limited to): graphene, carbon, polymers, or other organic materials (e.g., biomaterials)
- New plasma processes in vacuum or atmospheric pressure for nanoscale fabrication, green nanofabrication, improvement of industrial processes, sustainable lifecycles of natural resources
- Applications of plasma nanotechnology in the life sciences and chemistry including: diagnostics / monitoring (integration in sensors, biosensors, lab-on-chip, MEMS, etc.)
- Plasma nanocatalysis
- Applications of plasma nanotechnology in photonics and plasmonics
- Applications of plasma nanotechnology in energy and energy harvesting devices
- Plasmas at new spatiotemporal scales: micro and nanoplasmas, nanosecond pulsing, nanoplasmas generated by ultrafast intense radiation
- Modeling and diagnostics of plasmas during nanomaterial growth or etching
- Plasmas formed at the surface of or inside liquids
- Entrepreneurial efforts in plasma nanotechnology (e.g. new spin-off companies and products)
- New vacuum or atmospheric plasma sources for plasma nanotechnology
