Nanotechnology : Boston

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

Cabot Corporation is a world leader in fine particles. We have manufactured high surface area materials for over 130 years. Recently Chemical and Engineering News had an issue devoted to nanotechnology. One of the articles listed and discussed the many new firms entering the field of nanoparticles. In that article C&E News referred to Cabot, describing us as venerable.

Currently the exciting new field is nanotechnology. Governments are investing heavily in research and development and you can attend at least one conference a week with nano in its title. At one of these conferences a few years ago, the plenary speaker announced that nano particles have reached commercialization and that sales exceeded $20 million in the past year. Of course they ignored that the fact that carbon black sales exceed $4 billion and precipitated silica sales exceed those of carbon black. They also ignored the many, many other fine particle products that go into almost every conceivable materials application.

What is nanotechnology? The numerous topics that are raised under the heading of nanotechnology are one of two types. The first includes very small ordered structures. The approaches to making these ordered structures apparently are also of two different types. One is the more or less conventional construction. Techniques such as the atomic force microscope or extremely resolved photolithography are being used to make micro-machines on an increasingly smaller scale. The other approach is termed "self assembly" and in its most complex form is the way the structures of living things are created. The techniques have in common the fact that the chemistry determines spatial structure.

The second type of topic includes fine particles or fine porous media that are more or less disordered. The varieties include truly disordered fractal particles such as those of aerosols, mono-dispersed spherical particles such as quantum dots, small fibers such as single or multi-wall carbon tubes, and templated porous or multi-phase particles. In general, these types of materials are made by precipitation, exploiting the phenomena of nucleation and growth. The precipitations can be single or multi-step and they can take place in media with low viscosity and therefore rapid mass transfer, such flames, or with high viscosity and therefore slow mass transfer, such as molten salt or polymer matrices.

The first type of topic is the area where the science and the technologies are developing the fastest. However, many new approaches to the second area have recently emerged and often they are ingenious and intriguing.

Cabot's core capabilities are in many aspects of the second type. We have excellent expertise in high temperature aerosol processes in both intellectual understanding and commercial operations. Similarly, we understand dense phase precipitations, with commercial operations using reduction precipitation of tantalum from molten salt and hydrothermal precipitation from aqueous solutions of mixed oxides, as well as large pilot plant operations in silica gelation for aerogels. In all of these areas, we have proprietary technologies that allow us to achieve particles or porous media with unique morphologies.

We also have proprietary technology for creating the desired surface chemistry on high surface are materials. Perhaps the most notable one is our ability to covalently bond organic groups to the surface of most of the many different forms of carbon.

We also understand many of the aspect of deagglomeration or deaggregation. We use both mechanical and chemical approaches to the problem where applicable.

Cabot is not a center of expertise for either of the process used in the first type of nano-technology. We have created a research capability in "smart" polymer design and fabrication. We are learning how to exploit such techniques as block copolymer self-ordering.

Our research and development programs are very strong in the second type or "conventional" nanotechnolgy. We are also investing in expanding our capabilities in at least some of the "new, hot" areas. We want to work with others to create solutions to materials problems.

Modern biology and medical science are yielding breathtaking advances on a daily basis and the pace of discovery is radically accelerating. Yet, scientific innovations with enormous market potential often remain relegated to the academic domain due to a lack of the critical industry expertise and seed capital needed to move a technology beyond the lab in a commercially-driven direction.
PureTech was founded by a group of entrepreneurs and pharmaceutical industry executives to bridge this widening "venture gap" between the lab and venture capital. We partner with scientists to co-found life science ventures and provide the seed capital, experienced management, support, and strategic planning essential to building a successful company around a breakthrough technology. We also provide access to an extensive scientific advisory, business and investor network that is of great value as a new venture matures beyond the early stage.

Our focus is on scientific breakthroughs that have the potential to significantly impact the biotechnology, medtech and pharmaceuticals industries. We encourage scientists and entrepreneurs to contact us at the idea stage, even before a company is formed or a business plan has been written.
