The objective of the conference is to accelerate the adoption of micro and nanofibers and related (nano) technologies in a wide range of innovative functional products.
The conference agenda will be organized into three concurrent sessions:
Micro and Nanofiber Technology and Trends – Topics will include a discussion of:
- Technology Innovations and Trends
- Characterization of Nanofibers
- Modeling and Theoretical Considerations
- Structure and Morphology of Polymeric Organic and Inorganic Nanofibers
- Surface Modification and Functionalization of Nanofibers
Micro and Nanofibers and Related Materials – Topics will include a discussion of:
- Nanofibers and Functional Nanoparticles
- Nanofibers and Other Nanomaterials Synergies
- Multi-Nano Applications (nanofibers doped with nanoparticles, nanofibers as nanoparticle carriers, nano-delivery systems for environment and bio-medicine, nano-bio-technologies)
Micro and Nanofibers and Other Nanomaterials in Products – Topics will include a discussion of:
- Business Development Trends
- Nanofiber Industry Challenges
- Nanofiber Cost Benefit Analysis, Return on Investment
- Nanofibers and Nanomaterials in Products
- Automotive
- Healthcare / Life Sciences
- Energy
- Environment / Water / Air
- Infrastructure
Moreover, NART organizing committee in collaboration with the research project Alliance for Advanced Manufacturing in Central Europe (AMiCE) are pleased to invite SMEs, industrial partners, researchers, and interested citizens to take part in a specialized workshop during the NART program. In this context, the possibilities for Additive Manufacturing (3D printing) as well as Circular Economy will be discussed in an interdisciplinary way. The workshop will show the current state of research with a picture for the expected advances in the near future.
This conference will bring together experts in the field from universities, research institutes and industry with a common interest in the realization of innovative solutions achieved through the use of micro and nanofibers and other related nanomaterials. The scope of the event will be broad and will include both academic and industrial interests.
The deadlines of NART 2019 are:
Papers/Abstracts Submissions: July 31th, 2019
Authors Notifications: August 15th, 2019
Registration & Payment and Upload of Presentations: August 31st, 2019
The Conference Proceedings will be cited in the Web of Science databases. Also, selected best contributions will be invited to submit extended papers for publication in special collections of the Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics (IF: 0.678) and the journal of Fibers and Textiles (SJR: 0.194).
Participants can attend all sessions and will have access to the online proceedings. In addition, an exhibition area will be available for the display of posters as well as commercial tabletop presentations.
