Smart Surfaces 2012: Solar & Biosensors Applications
SmartSurfaces2012: From Light to Life is a unique conference, bringing together leading scientists and engineers from around the world to discuss the latest advances in surfaces for application in solar and biosensor technologies. Surfaces underpin these key technologies and the highly productive multidisciplinary approach to surface research is the impetus for this focal conference. The ability to manipulate surfaces offers the possibility of tailoring devices for current engineering and scientific needs and of producing new materials to meet challenges in the energy and biomedical fields.
Conference ThemeThe theme for the conference is From Light To Life and represents a powerful and unique opportunity to interact with a range of researchers all interested in creating and applying modified surfaces. These “Smart Surfaces” range from dye sensitized solar cells to labelled antibodies immobilized on surfaces for disease biomarker detection. Sessions will include, but not restricted to:
- Design and Underlying Theory of Smart Surfaces
- Smart Materials
- Surface Characterisation
- Photocatalysis for Energy Production
- Nanobiosensors and Nanobioanalytical Systems
- Applications: Solar Cells and Biomedical Diagnostics
- Commercialisation of Solar Cells and Biosensors
- Enabling Technologies, E.G., Information Technology, Microfluidics
