Metal-polymer nanocomposites produced by supersonic cluster beam implantation with tunable electrical, optical and mechanical properties
Prof. Paolo Milani
Dept. of Physics, University of Milano, Italy
Abstract
Stretchable functional materials are enabling ingredients for the fabrication of wearable electronics, smart prosthetics and soft robotics. These applications require the integration of electronic, optical and actuation capabilities on soft, conformable and biocompatible polymeric substrates [1].
Recently it has been demonstrated that neutral metallic nanoparticles produced in the gas phase and aerodynamically accelerated in a supersonic expansion can be implanted in a polymeric substrate to form a conductive nanocomposite with superior resilience and interesting structural and functional properties [2-4]. This approach is called supersonic cluster beam implantation (SCBI).
Here I present experimental and theoretical results about the production of devices based on...

"Experimental Studies on Multiphase Flow for Improved Engineering Systems" Prof. Shuichiro Miwa
BIO: Dr. Shuichiro MIWA earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering at Purdue University in 2008, 2012, respectively. He earned his B.S. in Civil/ Environmental Engineering at Purdue in 2005. Following his doctorate, he joined the Division of Energy and Environmental Systems at Hokkaido University as an assistant professor and conducting research at the laboratory of nuclear system safety. His research interests include nuclear thermal-hydraulics, gas-liquid two-phase flow experiments and modeling, and Fukushima Daiichi decommissioning support.
From Cephalopods to Microscopy and Back Again
Ruth A Byrne, PhD; Medical University of Vienna, Austria.
For the last ten years, Dr. Byrne has studied cephalopods at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research, universities in the USA and Israel, and beneath the pristine waters of the Caribbean. She first investigated behavioral lateralization and arm use in the Common Octopus, and subsequently the complex body pattern communication system of the Caribbean Reef Squid. Most recently, she has been working on human cell biology.
