NT11 International Conference on the Science and Application of Nanotubes
University of Cambridge, Cambridge, 11 – 15 July, 2011
Conference Scope
Carbon nanotubes have many fascinating properties, owing to their quasi one-dimensional structure. This creates a wide range of issues for fundamental research, as well as a wealth of opportunities for technological application. Progress in the field over the past few years has been remarkable, and applications for this unique material are starting to make the move from the laboratory into the mainstream. In the tradition of the NT conference series, this meeting will bring leading researchers in the area of nanotube science and technology together to evaluate the current state of the art and to identify current trends. The conference will encompass the frontiers of fundamental science as well as applied research, and will enable and encourage participants to exchange their latest ideas and results.
Topics receiving special attention include:
- Structure and physical characterization
- Synthesis and mechanism
- Nanotube-related structures
- Devices and their physics
- Chemistry and biology
- Processing
- Bulk applications
- Manufacturing and composites

Format of the Conference
The main "general session" of the NT11 conference is 4 days long with a combination of invited talks (10 keynotes and 5 invited), contributed presentations (about 30-35 selected from submitted abstracts), and poster sessions (6 sessions).
Following the main conference are 5 satellite workshops, each up to 2 days long, addressing specific topics, and each with additional invited talks and contributed talks selected from submitted abstracts.
Provisional Satellite Topics:
- Computational Challenges
- Nanocarbon Composites
- Graphene for Devices
- Biology-Medicine-Toxicology
- Metrology
At the poster sessions, there will also be exhibitors displaying materials and equipment of interest to nanotube researchers.
