- CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT -

'Defence Nanotechnology 2003'
November 6-7, London

Building on the phenomenal success of last year's ground-breaking meeting,
Defence Event Management are delighted to announce the second 'Defence
Nanotechnology' event, organised in association with the Institute of
Nanotechnology.

The conference will focus on nanotechnology applications for the defence
industry, considering areas that include: 
~ multifunction adaptive (smart) materials ~ 
~ nanoengineered functional materials ~ 
~ chemical/biological agent detection/destruction ~ 
~ active chameleon style camouflage systems for wide ballistic protection ~ 
~ interactive textiles/clothing that provide passive insulation,
electromagnetic and radio frequency shielding ~ 
~ energy harvesting, waste disposal, water recovery and recycling ~ 

Speaker applications are now sought from experts wishing to highlight
nanotechnolgoy advancements in the defence industry.  Speakers from all
walks of expertise in fields such as engineering, materials, sensors,
chemistry, and biology are encouraged to apply.
