Information
The International conference "Advanced Carbon
Nanostructures 2013" (ACNS2013) continues
the series of the joined conferences that started
in 2011 when the 10th
Biennial International Workshops "Fullerenes
and Atomic Clusters" and the 4th
International Symposiums "Detonation Nanodiamonds:
Technology, Properties and Applications"
were unified into single event "Advanced
Carbon Nanostructures 2011 (ACN2011)".
The scope of the conference includes new carbon
nanostructures, members of nanocarbon family -
fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbide
derived carbon, onions, nanographite and nanodiamonds
There are general approaches to technology and
the methods of characterizations of the carbon
nanostructures.
The most important feature is that knowledge
of physical and chemical properties of one particular
nanostructure of the nanocarbon family helps during
the research of other carbon nanostructures. What
is more, a certain competition in applications
of different nanocarbons gives a chance to choose
the best structure for this or that specific application.
Indeed, unique possibility of carbon atoms to
form sp, sp2 and sp3 bonds provides the basis
of the diversity on carbon nanostructures and
attracts attention of nanocarbon community to
the conference.
ACNS'2013 is the international forum for the
exchange of information on the latest progress
in carbon nanostructures. The scientific program
consists of both oral and poster presentations
as well as lectures by invited keynote speakers
who survey areas of major interest.
General topics include synthesis and technology,
physical properties, chemistry of carbon nanostructures
as well as their main applications for industry,
biology and medicine.
Progress in modern nanotechnologies requires development
of new, and refinement of already available methods
of diagnostics. This is why we also arrange the
conference school for young scientists "Diagnostics
of Carbon Nanostructures" which will be held
in the course of the ACNS'2013 on July 3, 2013.
Based on experience of the previous conference,
the estimated number of the participants of the
ACN'2013 will exceed 300, and will include both
of those from Russia as well as Europe, Japan,
USA, and other countries.
In spite of the short history, the conference
has its own traditions.
The science on nanocarbons is radically interdisciplinary
in nature. Physics, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy,
and medicine represent an incomplete list of fields
dealing with the research of fullerenes, nanotubes,
nanodiamonds and graphene.
The discussion of nanocarbon applications is
one of the traditions of the conference. The Sponsors
and the Organizing Committee have been trying
to help and promote young participants. The Program
committee has arranged a special award for young
scientists for best presentation.
St Petersburg is both a scientific and a cultural
center. It is a beautiful city designed and built
by Russian and Western architects. It is often
called "the Venice of the North". As
usual along with the Scientific Session, a Social
Program is planned. The organizers will arrange
a sightseeing program to introduce St Petersburg
to the guests and accompanying persons. The ACNs'2013
will be held in the period of "white"
nights, when the city looks especially beautiful.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you in
July 2013 during white nights in St Petersburg.
The Organizers are pleased to welcome members
of the world nanocarbon community to St Petersburg.
