Solid-State Chemistry and Materials Science III - Synthesis and Characterization of Nanoparticulate Materials
This symposium will bring together scientists from the fields of inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, condensed matter physics, materials science, and engineering in order to examine current topics of interest to the greater materials chemistry community. Topics will include advances in designed synthetic strategies to prepare nanoparticulate materials.

Sessions will be comprised of invited speakers and contributed talks. Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are highly encouraged to submit abstracts.
