Fuel cells for portable power show great promise in meeting the ever-increasing power and energy requirements of portable electronic devices and are quickly gaining market share. However, large scale commercialization will depend upon improvements to fuel cell performance and durability, as well as cost reductions. This webinar will focus on recent R&D advancements in direct methanol fuels and their use in portable power. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory will discuss advanced materials and the development of new methanol oxidation catalysts, hydrocarbon membranes with reduced methanol crossover, and improvements to component durability. Researchers at the University of North Florida will focus on a "passive-water recovery" membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which eliminates the water recovery components, and results in a small, lightweight direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) power supply. Finally, researchers at Arkema will present their polymer electrolyte membrane design for direct methanol fuels which blends poly(vinylidene fluoride) with a sulfonated polyelectrolyte.

NANOMATERIALS AND NANOCHEMISTRY, NANO-ENABLED ENERGY SYSTEMS,NANOMEDICINE AND NANO-BIO CONVERGENCE- Emphasizing Emerging Science and Technologies, Applications, Commercialization and Business Opportunities

Nanotechnology is already transforming our lives with new technologies and products. As nanotechnologytools and devices are developed, nanoparticles and nano-engineered materials and systems will play increasingly important roles in a number of industrial sectors such as: energy, biotechnology, electronics and information technology, healthcare and medicine, and industrial products.

The conference will focus on the synthesis, processing and application of nanoengineered materials with an emphasis on energy generation and storage, biological applications including pharmaceuticals, nanomedicine and nano-enabled devices. Cutting edge research from some of the world's leading nano scientists, technologists and business leaders will be presented in six conference sessions. The program will provide attendees an unmatched look at the state-of-the-art in these emerging technologies and their path to the market place.

This unique meeting will bridge the gap between science, technology and commercialization and attract an international group of participants that represent the research, business, and investment communities.

About the Conference
Held for over 34 years, this two-day Industry-Environment Conference is the foremost of its kind in New York State. The conference brings together experts from both the private and public sectors to interact and share the latest information relevant to environmental issues in New York State.

Pre-register for CNSE Community Day

CNSE is giving residents of the Capital Region, Tech Valley and New York State an up-close look at the exciting world of nanotechnology, including its growing impact on our daily lives and how education, research, development and commercialization at CNSE is driving economic growth across the state.

CNSE's Community Day will offer guests a unique opportunity to receive a firsthand look at CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex, which is the most advanced research enterprise of its kind at any university in the world: an ever-expanding $12 billion, 800,000-square-foot megaplex that attracts corporate partners from around the world and offers students a one-of-a-kind educational experience.

Both adults and children will have the opportunity to interact with CNSE students, faculty and staff, and to participate in a variety of activities that promote a greater understanding of nanotechnology, including:

• Tours of the cutting-edge cleanroom facilities
• Hands-on polymer experiments
• Cleanroom gowning demonstrations
• A Kid's Corner featuring several kid-friendly activities relating to nanotechnology
• Sustainable Energy Activities
• Nanotechnology overview presentations
• Displays showcasing research in CNSE's constellations, including health care, energy, electronics and economics

Additionally, event attendees will learn about the NanoCollege expansion, NanoFab Xtension, part of which will house the world’s first Global 450mm Consortium, will add nearly 500,000 square feet of next-generation infrastructure, an additional 50,000 square feet of Class 1 capable cleanrooms, and more than 1,000 scientists, researchers and engineers from CNSE and global corporations.

 

CNSE is partnering with OASIS, a national not-for-profit educational organization housed on the University at Albany campus, for a one-hour talk followed by a tour of CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex. The presentation, to be provided by Dr. Janet Paluh, CNSE Associate Professor of Nanobioscience, will focus on her innovative research involving nanomotors and pluripotent stem cells.
