COST Action MP0701 Workshop
Nanoparticles Surface (Modified/Unmodified) as a base for the interaction
with polymer matrix"
23 - 24 September 2010
Novi Sad, Serbia
First Announcement
The workshop is part of an ongoing activity within the COST project MP0701 on Nanocomposite Polymer Materials: “Composites with novel functional and structural properties by nanoscale materials (Nano Composite Materials – NCM)”
Welcome
We are pleased to invite you to the COST MP0701 Workshop which will be held from 23 to 24 September in Novi Sad, Serbia. The focus of this Workshop will be recent developments in nanoparticles surface or polymer modification in order to achieve polymer/nanoparticles interaction that would lead to polymer nanocompsites with desired final properties.
Scope
Polymer nanocomposites have been the focus of recent research and became an opening challenge from both the industrial and fundamentals points of view. Combination of the of organic polymer matrix advantages (e.g. flexibility, dielectric, ductility and processability) with inorganic nanoscale particles advantages (e.g. rigidity, thermal stability, improving properties in low content) leads to dramatic changes in functional and structural properties compared to pure polymers or conventionally filled composites.
Polymer nanocomposites combine both, polymer science and technology. Therefore the investigations in this field cover different topics such as: polymer bland and composite reinforcement, barrier properties, flame resistance, electro-optical properties cosmetic application, bactericidal properties, polymer-based biomaterials, nanoparticles drug delivery, miniemulsion particles and etc.
However, in spite of this huge interest, there are many unresolved problems in this field. One of the main problems which can influence the macroscopic behaviour of the resulting composite is uniform dispersion of nanoparticles in polymer matrix. There are many factors which control the dispersion and one of them is the interaction between nanoparticles and polymer phase.
The main subject of this workshop is the presentation of recent developments regarding nanoparticles surface or polymer modification in order to achieve polymer/nanoparticles interaction leading to polymer nanocomposites with desired final properties.
This Workshop will include diverse aspects related to chemical and physical nanoparticles surface modifications and their interactions.
Who should attend?
The purpose of this workshop is to develop and improve industry and research dialogue as well as to gather together international scientists and industrialist working or having interests on diverse aspects related to chemical and physical nanoparticles surface modifications and their interactions with polymeric matrix, to discuss the recent developments and cutting edge challenges in this field.

Workshop and Training School on Multiphase Polymers and Polymer Composites Systems: Macro to Nano Scales
June 7-10, 2011 Paris, France
First Announcement
Dear Sir/Madam,
It is our great pleasure to announce the organization of Workshop and Training School on
Multiphase Polymers and Polymer Composites Systems: Macro to Nano Scales to be held at
Paris-Est Créteil University, France on June 7-10, 2011. This meeting is part of an ongoing
activity within the COST action MP0701 on Polymer and Composites Materials entitled:
“Multicomponent polymer and polymer composites systems from macro to nano scale
materials”.
http://www.nanocomposite2011.eu/
The focus of this Workshop and Training School will be on the recent developments in the
current state of the art and opportunities in the field of multicomponent polymers and polymer
composites systems as will as the new challenges on preparation, interfacial, morphological,
physical characterization and applications.
Abstracts should be written in English with a maximum one-page length and can be submitted
to the secretary e-mail: contact@nanocomposite2011.eu.
All submitted abstracts will be reviewed on the basis of scientific merit, novelty and practical
application. Due to the limited slots available, selected abstracts will be requested for oral
presentations.
There is a possibility to select papers after refereeing process for publication on a special issue
for an international journal indexed in the major academic databases, including EI
Compendex, Thomson ISTP and other indexing services.
Important dates
31 October 2010 - Deadline for Abstracts Submission: Abstracts should be sent as an
attached document by e-mail to workshop secretary (contact@nanocomposite2011.eu)
20 December 2010 - Notification of the acceptation
01 April 2011 - Finally Workshop Programme, place of holding, accommodation and venue
