Thursday, May 12, 2011
After three conferences (2006, 2008 and 2010) and an increasing number of participants, the 4th occurrence of ChemOnTubes will be held again in the unique setting of Arcachon Convention Center, in april 2012. In addition to carbon nanotubes, which were the focus of conferences of 2006 and 2008, graphene is now a major subject for carbon chemists and is undertaking a significant scientific development. Since 2010, ChemOnTubes has opened up to the chemistry of graphene, while retaining many presentations around nanotubes. Likewise, the sessions of the ChemOnTubes 2012 conference will also be entirely dedicated to the chemistry of carbon nanotubes and graphene:
Functionalization, Dispersion, Sorting Composites, Porous Materials, Coatings, Energy Storage, Conversion and Harvesting, Nanomedicine, Biomaterials, Functional Materials, Catalysis, Filtration, Membranes, Organic Electronics
Deadline for abstract submission: 15 December 2011

CARBON2011 (24-29 July 2011, Shanghai, China)
The Annual World Conference on Carbon, which is held in the American, Asian, and European continents alternately since 2000, is a unique chance for the academic and industrial people involved in the science and technology of carbon materials and relative fields to assemble and discuss their current research. East China University of Science and Technology, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, and Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, co-host the Carbon2011 under the guidance the Asian Association of Carbon Groups.
With the rapid development of carbon science and technology, carbon materials play an important role in our daily life. Carbon is old, but it is new. With discoveries of fullerene in 1985, carbon nanotube in 1991 and graphene in 2004, carbon always attracts much attention. “Nice Carbon, Nice Life” is the theme for Carbon2011 and will become a forever theme.
The conference will cover all topics on Carbon Materials and Application. Sessions will be organized around the following topics:
1 Graphene
2 Nanocarbons
3 Carbon for Energy Storage and Conversion
4 Porous carbon and Adsorption
5 Carbon Fibers and Composites
6 Precursor, Carbonization and Graphitization
7 Computation and Modeling
8 Bio-carbon and Safety
9 Novel Experimental Techniques and Characterization
10 Bulk Carbon and Industrial ApplicationsNANOCARBONS 2011
Researchers from the Physical and Life Sciences are invited to participate in the **Nanocarbons 2011** Conference.
This conference is organised by the European Science Foundation (ESF).
The conference will take place on **6 - 11 September 2011** at Hotel Villa del Mare, Acquafredda di Maratea, Italy.
Submission Deadline: **29 May 2011**
**Grants for Young and Early Stage Researchers available.**
Further information can be found below and at: www.esf.org/conferences/11363
**Nanocarbons 2011: Carbon Nanotubes and Related Materials: From Physico-Chemical Properties to Biological and Environmental Effects**
6 - 11 September 2011
**Chaired by:**
**Dr. Sophie Lanone**, Inserm U955 - Équipe 04, FR
**Co-Chairs:**
**Dr. Pascale Launois**, CNRS-Université Paris 11, FR
**Professor Philippe Lambin**, University of Namur, BE
**Professor Stephen Klaine**, Clemson University, US
Programme
Nanomaterials have specific properties mainly governed by quantum physics or surface effects, and significantly different from those of macroscopic objects. Emblematic nanomaterials are carbon nanotubes, which have generated a worldwide, and highly competitive, scientific research activity. The general aim of this conference is, thanks to its pluridisciplinary approach, to give the different actors of carbon nanotubes (CNT) research (physicists, chemists, biologists) the proper level of knowledge required to discuss with the other participants and understand each other correctly. The conference will therefore propose courses accessible to scientists of different fields, as well as more specialized courses in each domain of interest, including the most recent advances on the subject. The program will focus on four general topics: synthesis/characterization of CNT, CNT chemistry, health effects of CNT, and environmental effects of CNT. This conference should allow scientists from the different fields to acquire, increase and share their specific knowledge, and to make their own research understandable to scientists from other disciplines.
