Nanocharacterization and Innovation at Nanoscale

Dear Colleagues,

One of the final targets of the lively scientific research in the various fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology is the advancement in the use of nanomaterials, nanocomposites and nanosystems for our everyday life. All the aspects of our 'macro'world may potentially take advantage of applications of nanotechnologies.

NanoInnovation 2018, organized by the Italian Association for Industrial Research and the NanoItaly Association, will take place in Rome on September, 11th-14th 2018 The conference link is via http://www.nanoinnovation.eu/2018/. It is the national meeting place for the wide and multidisciplinary community dealing with the development of nanotechnologies and their integration with other key enabling technologies (KETs), in all application fields.

This Special Issue on “Nanocharacterization and Innovation at Nanoscale” is expected to select excellent papers both from and out of NanoInnovation 2018. We will provide an open discussion platform, where researchers, technologists, managers, entrepreneurs and investors can share experiences, opinions and expectations about the role of nanotechnologies for future innovations.
