#571 - Applications of Engineered Structured Particulates (03002)
This session invites abstracts of work involving engineered particles that consist of functional structuring of the nano and sub-micron particles to achieve desired physiochemical properties such that they have improved characteristics for specific applications. The engineered particles can be of various types, for example: (1) coated particles that have a layered structure or design surface functionality, (2) synthesized nano and sub-micron particles with controlled size or morphology, and (3) composite particles with a specific ordered structure consisting of nano and larger particles. In most such cases, the emphasis is on a more effective utilization of the unique properties of nano-structured particulate systems that have potential applications in a variety of industries including pharmaceuticals, biomedical, defense, electronics, food, cosmetics, ceramics and specialty chemicals. Papers that discuss formation as well as unique applications are strongly encouraged.
