The development and continued commercialization of improved manufacturing, processing and integration techniques for engineered fine particles will foster rapid growth of economically viable products in energy, electronics, consumer products and numerous other industries. This first of its kind conference will explore the latest advances in commercialization and applications of engineered fine powders. Experts from industry, government, academia and investors community will present current market trends and opportunities and provide key insights into the future trends and challenges. While nanotechnology is forecast to have extensive potential long term benefits, the near term markets for true nano-sized particles are difficult to define and relatively limited with the business impact of many technical, regulatory and health issues still unclear. On the contrary, rapidly growing commercial applications for engineered fine particles exist today in electronics, personal care, energy, pharmaceutical, and other markets. The IMI Materials Technology Division's 1st Engineered Fine Particle Applications Conference, the first of its kind, will be a worldwide meeting place for who's who in the rapidly evolving engineered fine particles field; a field which will change the design, manufacture and functionality of many products in the years to come. It will allow presenters, attendees and exhibitors to meet, learn and promote their technologies, vision, products and services. The conference will be a meeting place for particle producers, equipment developers, materials developers, processing experts and end users, i.e. all industry sectors with commercial interest in the advancement of engineered fine particle technology in the global economy. Engineered fine particle producers, equipment and system providers and end users will jointly address the challenges and opportunities associated with implementation of engineered fine particles into new applications and the need to innovate commercially viable solutions. Conference presentations will also address production and processing technologies; R&D and commercialization of emerging applications, markets and implementation issues. BENEFITS OF CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE Learn the current state of the art for conventional and evolving engineered fine particle technologies and gain first hand knowledge from current users, recognized experts and industry pioneers.
