3 I. Overview Workshop Summary This intensive single track workshop consists of invited talks and laboratory tours. The workshop covers the synthesis, functionalization, characterization, modeling, post processing, and application of carbon nanostructured materials and devices. The goal of the workshop is to benchmark the current state of the art and develop plans to make breakthroughs in engineering materials and devices based on nanotechnology. The electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and spun thread are of particular interest. Applications of nanotechnology and industry needs will be discussed along with strategies for commercializing nanotechnology. The workshop will provide opportunities to establish cooperative research and to intersect different ideas in order to break down barriers in nanotechnology. There is no individual registration fee. Registration as a sponsor of the workshop is $500 and provides an advertisement in the workshop proceedings and advertisement at the workshop. We ask that no confidential information be presented at the workshop. There is no taping or recording of the presentations. To register for the workshop, please complete the online registration form or register in person at the workshop. The workshop is held this year in the Great Hall of the Tangeman Center Great Hall 2014 Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Workshop Guidebook Page 3

4 Location The conference will be held on the west campus of the University of Cincinnati in the Tangeman University Center, in the Great Hall (see photo on right), located on the fourth floor of the building. Recommend parking locations are the Green Garage, Woodside Garage, or Corry Garage. The parking fee is ten dollars and should be paid by the participants. For those who would prefer to arrive the night before the workshop, the recommend hotel is the Kingsgate Conference Center Marriott located on the east (medical) campus of the University of Cincinnati. The Marriot will reserve rooms for conference attendees at a reduced rate. Please see later sections of this guidebook for more detailed information. Posters Attendees interested in displaying a poster may do so without charge. Posters should have a backing, be self-standing and must be set up before the conference begins. Posters will be placed on display in the back of the conference hall. Those who wish to display a poster must note so on their registration form so a poster stand can be provided. Fliers and advertising material may be displayed by registering as a sponsor. Proceedings Workshop proceedings containing powerpoint presentations and photographs from the workshop will be published electronically. The powerpoint presentations will consist of full or abbreviated versions of all talks, absent of confidential information. The proceedings will be available at no charge to attendees and to nonattendees for a small charge. The proceedings are expected to be published in late March. At that time an will be sent to all attendees with instructions on how to download the proceedings. To ensure that everyone receives a copy of the proceedings, we remind all attendees to include their address when registering for the workshop Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Workshop Guidebook Page 4

5 Workshop Organizers The Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Workshop is organized by the University of Dayton Research Institute and the University of Cincinnati in collaboration with the United States Air Force Research Laboratory. We thank the following workshop supporters: The Air Force Research Laboratory University of Dayton Research Institute University of Cincinnati Nanoworld Laboratory University of Cincinnati College of Engineering Website The Nanotechnology Materials and Devices conference website is located at II. Talks When planning a conference there are more people interested in giving presentations than can be accommodated. Thus each year different speakers are invited to give presentations. All talks will be twenty minutes, plus five minutes for questions and five minutes for speaker setup (totaling thirty minutes per talk). In order to keep the conference on schedule, we ask everyone s cooperation in adhering to the time schedule. A podium, microphone, laptop computer, and stage with large screen are used for the talks (see photo at right from previous workshop). All lectures will be invited and there will be no keynote lectures in order to have more speakers. The workshop is also two days to allow more speakers to participate Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Workshop Guidebook Page 5

6 III. Industry and University Sponsorships The Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Workshop is a unique intensive meeting to present state-of-the-art research in the field of nanotechnology and promote cooperatively translating nanotechnology discoveries into applications. At the workshop, attendees will view a panorama of unique presentations and learn the latest advances in nanotechnology theory and application from experts in the field. Between sessions there will be several opportunities to meet and network with engineering experts, faculty members, and industry executives from universities and nanotechnology companies across the globe. The workshop will highlight advances in nanotube materials such as forests, ribbons, sheets, thread, and yarn for applications including aerospace, bioengineering, electronics, energy and power, renewable energies, as well as several other industries. Industries, universities, publishers, and government agencies can partially sponsor the Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Workshop for $500. Sponsors will have the following benefits: a) A table in the Great Hall (where the workshop is held) for display of products and for distributing fliers and advertising materials b) Display of a poster at the workshop c) A one page sponsor advertisement in ppt format in the workshop proceedings d) Networking and Recruiting. Undergraduate and Graduate students and industry professionals will be at the workshop for interactions with industry e) Industries will each give a 4 minute presentation (using 2-3 ppt slides or similar) to attendees on the first day of the workshop on recent advances in their products and services related to nanotechnology. To register as a sponsor, please complete the online registration form or register in person at the workshop. Sponsors should also a one slide powerpoint presentation to Dr. Vesselin Shanov, Conference Co-Chairman, at vesselin.shanov@uc.edu, for inclusion in the workshop proceedings. The Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Workshop is held for academic purposes and is not for profit. Sponsorships are only used to cover part of the costs of running the workshop.
