Workshop Goals

This workshop will bring together leading researchers and stakeholders from industry, government, and academia that are actively engaged in research and development of the directed assembly of nanoparticles into functional materials and devices. Through invited presentations and focused discussions, the workshop will explore and identify the most pressing measurement and technological needs to advance directed assembly as a viable manufacturing method for future nanotechnology applications. Specifically, the workshop will:

Assess the technological challenges in the directed assembly of nanoparticles into next-generation materials, electronics, photonics, and sensing applications.

Identify "Measurement Needs" that must be addressed to overcome significant technological challenges to innovation and growth of this technology.

Document and publish the measurement and standards requirements needed to overcome the identified technological challenges for functional materials and devices assembled from nanoparticles.

The Workshop features invited technical presentations, three panel discussions, and a poster session.
