  iPlasmaNano Conference series

The scope of the iPlasmaNano conferences is plasma nanoscience/nanotechnology and its applications.

Topics typically covered include:

  • Fabrication of inorganic nanomaterials and nanostructures using a vacuum or atmospheric plasmas or ion beams and control of their functionality and surface properties
  • Fabrication of organic nanomaterials and nanostructures and control of their functionality (materials include (but are not limited to): graphene, carbon, polymers, or other organic materials (e.g., biomaterials)
  • New plasma processes in a vacuum or atmospheric pressure for nanoscale fabrication, green nanofabrication, improvement of industrial processes, sustainable lifecycles of natural resources
  • Applications of plasma nanotechnology in the life sciences and chemistry including diagnostics/monitoring (integration in sensors, biosensors, lab-on-chip, MEMS, etc.)
  • Plasma nanocatalysis
  • Applications of plasma nanotechnology in photonics and plasmonics
  • Applications of plasma nanotechnology in energy and energy harvesting devices
  • Plasmas at new spatiotemporal scales: micro and nanoplasmas, nanosecond pulsing, nanoplasmas generated by ultrafast intense radiation
  • Modelling and diagnostics of plasmas during nanomaterial growth or etching
  • Plasmas formed at the surface of or inside liquids
  • Entrepreneurial efforts in plasma nanotechnology (e.g. new spin-off companies and products)
  • New vacuum or atmospheric plasma sources for plasma nanotechnology

This conference has been conceived as an expert-level, Gordon-style meeting with many leading scientists and early-career researchers from all over the world. The total number of participants varies between 50 and 100 persons depending on the year and venue, and includes a mostly keynote and invited lectures, with a limited number of contributed talks and posters.
