Nanotechnology and Smart Materials for Medical Devices
Conference Programme
The conference will demonstrate how the convergence of nanotechnology and the life
sciences will develop a revolutionary new generation of medical devices.
•Diagnostics – increased speed, accuracy
and functionality through microsystems
and nanotechnology
The use of small molecular ensembles,
single nanoparticles and single molecules in
chip devices and internal diagnostics. Lower
cost and higher performance products
•Imaging – the contribution of novel
nanomaterials and sensors
How nanotechnology will enable us to see,
interpret and understand the physical world
at the nano-scale in a way not previously
before
•Power Systems – nanoactuators,
electronic polymers and nanoengineered
biofuel cells
Nanotechnology as a route to overcoming
current limitations in power supply to implants
by offering alternative means of power
generation
•Tissue Engineering –nano-scaffolds and
nanobiocompatible materials
Tissue engineering at the nanoscale level is
leading to the development of viable
alternatives that can replace,
restore,maintain or improve the function of
human tissues and organs .
•Surface Modification – Nanoindentations
and NanoComposites for Biofunctionality
Nanotechnology as the basis for improving
biological compatibility through chemical and
physical surface modifications.
•Implants and Devices – Interactive
medical implants for therapeutic
applications and sensory replacement
Present and Future
The integration of nanotechnology
applications to provide the fully internal,
biocompatible implant
The programme covers a broad range of topics designed to give a comprehensive
overview of the latest in nanotechnology developments covering all aspects of medical
devices. The event will include a dinner on the first night for all to attend.
