                                  and the excellent start of the youngest participant 
                                  with the presentation entitled "Research 
                                  on size stability of commercial nanodiamond 
                                  suspensions under the influence of external 
                                  factors
 The development of modern nanotechnologies is 
                                closely related to the development of new diagnostic 
                                techniques and to the improvement of diagnostic 
                                techniques already known. The specific character of carbon nanostructures, 
                                which include different types of fullerenes, carbon 
                                nanotubes, nanodiamonds, onions, nanographite 
                                and recently discovered graphenes, is related 
                                to the fact, that these objects have a size less 
                                than 10 nm, and sometimes they have a complicated 
                                structure of sp2/sp3 hybridized carbon atoms. The additional complication occurs in case of 
                                need to define not only existence but also localization 
                                of impurity atoms on scale of several tens nanometers. 
                              Besides, the mentioned carbon nanostructures can 
                              be synthesized not only in form of solid materials 
                              but also they exist in form of powders, suspensions 
                              and ashes, to investigate which we need to develop 
                              or modify diagnostics which where used before only 
                              for solid material investigations. The diagnostics 
                              of the mentioned objects in gas phase is a particular 
                              problem.
                              
                              It is commonly accepted that only a complex of diagnostic 
                              techniques gives the possibility to get a true knowledge 
                              about the carbon nanostructures properties.
                              
                              Just because of this, the most scientific papers, 
                              devoted to the investigation of the carbon nanostructures 
                              properties, are presented by the authors which are 
                              specialists in different fields of physics and chemistry, 
                              and this fact shows the interdisciplinary character 
                              of the carbon nanostructures investigations. The 
                              purpose of this conference-school is the extension 
                              of our knowledge about the carbon nanostructures 
                              diagnostic techniques.
                              
                              The conference-school will be held on July 6 2011 
                              in time of the International Conference "Modern 
                              Carbon Nanostructures".
