Nano Korea 2016 will focus on a wide range of innovations and technologies stemming from nanotechnology advances when it is held later this year at the Korea International Exhibition Centre in South Korea.  

The event is being held from July 13 to 15, and is billed as the largest event of its kind, with 350 companies from 15 countries showcasing new technologies and applications.

There will be a special showcase on nano-materials such as functional coating fluids and pastes, including carbon-based nano tubs (CNT), and graphene applications. Nano powder, film heater technology based on nanotechnology, nano-filters and nanotechnology based energy reduction devices will also be on display at the exhibition.

The event will also have showcases of semiconductor processing equipment including sputters, evaporators, plasma etches, PECVDs and ALDs. There will be special booths for measurement, analysis, processing and manufacturing equipment that uses nanotechnology such as lasers for electronic and semiconductor devices.

This event will also mark the first time that the high functional material exhibition and smart sensor exhibition will be held jointly.

This year, keynote presentations will be held by Professor John Rogers of the University of Illionois, USA, and Dr Michiharu Nakamura from the Japan Science and Technology Agency.

An industrialisation session will be held to discuss the demand for nanotechnology commercialisation in industry. Companies such as 3M, BASF, Hanwha Chemical and LG Chemical will present their views.

Additionally, there will be over 20 symposia and workshops on future trends in various technologies including lasers, high-function materials and smart sensors. –TradeArabia News Service
