Nanoporous Materials and Their Applications (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

Advances in Synthesis, Separations and Environmental Applications

August 8 - 9, 2015
Chairs Jason Gee and Nicholas C. Burtch
Holderness School
33 Chapel Lane
Holderness, New Hampshire, United States
 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Nanoporous Materials & Their Applications is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is to explore the frontiers of the synthesis, characterization, and application of nanoporous materials. The topics that will be explored include (but are not limited to) advances in synthetic techniques, adsorption and transport phenomena, and emerging environmental applications.

The poster sessions will provide opportunities for presentation and discussion of important contributions in additional areas of nanoporous materials and technology.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Nanoporous Materials and Their Applications" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
