2nd EU-ICT/FET Cluster Meeting

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 12:24:43 +0000

Short description

The 2nd EU/FET-Cluster meeting will help to establish a critical mass of R&D at a European level and to stimulate development of an interdisciplinary community of researchers.

Long description

In order for the field of emerging nanoelectronics to continue growing exponentially worldwide and therefore lead to new commercial applications and to change the micro and nanoelectronics paradigm, it is necessary to educate new researchers who can work across traditional disciplines. High-level dissemination activities such as this 2nd EU/FET-Cluster meeting will help to establish a critical mass of R&D at a European level and to stimulate development of an interdisciplinary community of researchers.
During this meeting, an open plenary session (1 day) and restricted EU project reviews will take place.

The 1 day plenary session program will be composed of EU representatives presentations, invited talks and short contributions on IST/FET FP6 scientific research highlights and future FP7 nanoICT funded projects.
FP6 projects
"E-Nano" - ULTRAGAN, D-DOT FET, NANOSPIN and SUBTLE
"Bio" - GOLDEN BRAIN and DNA NANODEVICES
"Single Atom/Single Molecule" - PICO-INSIDE
"CNTs and Nanowires" - CANDICE, CARDEQ, CANEL and NODE
FP7 projects
nanoICT Coordination Action
"Single Atom/Single Molecule" - MOLOC, AFSID, SINGLE and CHIMONO
"Switches and Interconnects" - CATHERINE, GRAND, NABAB and VIACARBON

The 2nd EU/FET-Cluster meeting will be organised by the following Institutions: Phantoms Foundation, EU/FET NanoICT and CEMES/CNRS and in collaboration with the Pico-Inside IP project.

2nd EU-ICT/FET Cluster Meeting

3rd International Conference on Nano-Networks (Nano-Net 2008)

damira — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:08:09 +0000

Short description

The Nano-Net conference positions itself at the intersection of two worlds, namely, emerging nano-technologies on one-side, and network/communication theory on the other side. The standing question that this conference will address is: What are the new communication paradigms that derive from the transition from micro- to nano-scale devices? The related degrees of freedom and constraints associated with these new technologies will change our notions about efficient network and system design. Nano-Net provides a multi-disciplinary forum for the discussion of new techniques in modeling, design, simulation, and fabrication of network and communication systems at the nano-scale.

Sponsors: Create-Net, ICST, EU (IST-FET), ENIAC
Industry Sponsor: STMicroelectronics

Long description

ADA Technologies, Inc. spent its early years roaming the landscape of technology research and development. Funding through the federal government’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program has allowed the company to hone a vision for building an organization of lasting value. A new management team bought out the last founder in October 2000. Since that time the total corporate focus has been shifted to commercializing technology. The already strong research and development skills have been strengthened and a solid commercialization program is well under development. This program encompasses five key skill sets: business planning, marketing, intellectual property management, business infrastructure and financial resource procurement. The program is being implemented with a strategic mix of internal and external resources.

The envisioned future for ADA is to be a leader in the national small business community as a developer and commercializer of technology. Shareholder value will be driven by commercialization successes as we license and sell technology, create new businesses via business manufacturing and enter into strategic joint ventures with partner organizations. The business model will be replicated at other locations that exhibit a high concentration of new technology.

Delivering optimum service to our customers and watching the market closely are among the driving forces that inspire our Research and Development teams. These people work daily with marketing and sales personnel to develop processes to increase the performance of existing products, and make production, transportation, and application even safer.
This policy is reflected in our clear commitment to constantly improve the reliability and competitiveness of our processes. This may mean, for example, cutting down on production stages in order to focus quickly on the molecule or the product in question.
Our most advanced research relates to the nanostructuring of polymers (molecular structures on a nano-scale, the nanometer being one billionth of a meter). Arkema holds a crucial position in the field of new materials through its command of original polymerization techniques (ionic or radical polymerization) which ensure controlled polymer chain growth.

Arkema becomes Nanoledge’s dedicated supplier for carbon nanotubes

Benj — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 15:55:43 +0000

Short description

Nanoledge and Arkema have reached a formal agreement for the supply of Graphistrengthtm C100 multi-walled carbon nanotubes (high-purity carbon nanotubes).

Article body

Nanoledge and Arkema have reached a formal agreement for the supply of Graphistrengthtm C100 multi-walled carbon nanotubes (high-purity carbon nanotubes).

Arkema will thereby allow Nanoledge to efficiently develop commercial applications for NANO IN RES in the sports and leisure sector.

Nanoledge, which recently presented the NANO IN RES MASTER SERIES, its latest range of high-performance carbon nanotubes filled resins, confirms that it is pleased with the deal.

For Franck Bennardi, CEO of Nanoledge : "Working with Arkema, a major player in the development of nanostructured materials, will boost our credibility in the market. By using Graphistrength C100 in our NANO IN RES resins, we will be able to offer our customers high-quality resin formulations. Moreover, we will benefit from Arkema's safety and risk prevention expertise."

For Christian Collette, Arkema Vice President - R&D : "Arkema aims to be a vital supplier of carbon nanotubes. This deal with Nanoledge falls perfectly in line with our development strategy and shows that carbon nanotubes are finding an increasing number of genuinely commercial applications."

Unique through their structure and their shape, carbon nanotubes feature outstanding intrinsic properties. They are 6 times lighter and 100 times stronger than steel, their electrical conductivity is equivalent to that of copper, their thermal conductivity is very high, and they are as hard as diamond.

Arkema is developing its sales of carbon nanotubes in the thermoplastics, epoxy resins, elastomers and coatings sectors. Studies are also underway into applications in other fields, in particular energy, an area in which the use of carbon nanotubes should help develop low-energy batteries and fuel cells.

A world-class chemical concern, Arkema combines three strategically related, integrated businesses: Vinyl Products, Industrial Chemicals and Performance Products. With operations in more than 40 countries and 18,400 employees, the company reported revenue of €5.7 billion in 2005. Leveraging six research centers in France, the United States and Japan and internationally recognized brands, Arkema holds leadership positions in each of its principal markets.

Founded in 2001 as a spin-out company of CNRS (French Research Institute), Nanoledge is a Nanotechnology provider delivering industrial products for the Composite Industry and specializing in commercial Sporting Goods applications. Its “NANO IN” product line offers users the design and development of high-performance and multi-functional Composites (based on Carbon Nanotubes filled resins). “NANO IN” integrated carbon nanotubes create and improve the strength, toughness, flexibility and conductivity of Composite Materials.

Nanoledge’s core competencies are:

1 - Functionalization, Compatibilization, Dispersion and Integration of Carbon Nanotubes (Nanotechnology expertise),

2 - Carbon Nanotubes filled Resins formulation (Resins expertise),

3 - High-Performance Composite Materials Processing (Composites expertise).
