06.-08. Oktober 2010 Symposium Bionik-A
Vom 06. bis zum 08. Oktober 2010 findet in Villach, Österreich das Symposium Bionik-A statt. Die Vorträge sind dabei am 07. Oktober vorgesehen.
Ausserdem wird voraussichtlich am 08. Oktober eine "Bionik-Ausstellung" im Technologiepark Villach veranstaltet. Eine Chance also, die Bionik ein wenig sichtbar zu machen!
Bei Interesse können Sie sich gern an Herrn Peter Piccottini (Tel.: +43- 59 05 00- 11 47, E-Mail: p.piccottini(at)fh-kaernten(dot)at) wenden.
from 14-10-2010 to 16-10-2010 "1st International Conference on Applied Bionics and Biomechanics ICABB-2010"
The main objective of the ICABB-2010 is to reunite research groups, scientists, engineers and practitioners to present recent results, technological innovations and promising future directions in Applied Bionics and Biomechanics.
The Technical Program of the ICABB-2010 will consist of article presentations in Technical Sessions, Special Sessions, Poster Sessions, Tutorials, and Workshops.
We believe that the ICABB-2010 will provide an appropriate Forum for the dissemination of knowledge on a diverse and wide scientific/technical Scope to the fast growing community engaged in Bionics and its affine fields/areas.
17.10. - 20.10.2010 Bioinspired Materials Engineering - Call for Papers
Materials Science and Technology 2010 Conference and Exhibition in Houston, Texas
The purpose of this symposium is to present the results of current basic and applied research work, with emphasis on multidisciplinary methods adopted from biological processes and their potential applications. We are encouraging contributions from research groups working in the fields of: molecular recognition and self-assembly, hierarchical patterning; structure/ properties relationships, biotemplating; materials synthesis mediated by microorganisms (bacteria, virus, fungi, algae), biopolymer/ceramic composites. Microstructure pattern formation for functional materials by bioinspired techniques leads to hierarchically structured functional materials with improved and designed (piezo-)electrical, magnetic and catalytic properties.
Assembly of periodical patterns with local control of materials composition is of particular interest for optical and photonic devices. The vision for bio-inspired materials provides potential applications as novel light-weight structural materials, highefficiency catalysts and improved biomedical materials with stimuli-adaptive, self-assembly and self-repairing properties.
Presentations including patterning procedures such as biomineralization, self-assembly, sol-gel procedures, solid state synthesis soft lithographic methods and layer-by-layer deposition with the focus on materials functions and properties are welcome.
