Hernando Desoto (Peabody Hotel)

Symposium (SYMG)

Functionalized Metal Nanoparticles for Sensing Applications I

The purpose of this session is to bring together scientists performing the latest research in the broad area of functionalization of metallic nanostructures for potential applications in chemical sensing. Our goal is to generate lively discussion between presenters and attendees in this important area of research. Functionalization of nanostructures is crucial for control over their size, shape, reactivity, and chemical properties. Nanoparticle assembly and sensing applications also rely on functionalization. We hope to bring these different areas together into one exciting symposium, drawing interest from those already invovled with and new to the field.
