PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES THE ISS SURFACE CHEMISTRY WORKSHOP HAS BEEN DELAYED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE . PLEASE CHECK BACK SOON FOR UPDATES. We hope to have a new date shortly, at which time we will re-open registration.
May 2-3, 2013
Instructor: Dr. Philip Roche, Post-Doc, Electrical and Computer Engineering
Microstructured polymer doped with gold nanorods:
The microstructure is formed by the conflicting forces of adhesion and cohesion that occur between the polymer, the stamp and the substrate. The intense red colour comes from Mie Scattering of the gold nanorods.
Summary
The two-day workshop will focus on a practical approach to surface modification related to sensors.
Students should expect to gain
- a familiarity of language associated with the study and methodologies of surface chemistry
- understanding of why surface chemistry/modification is an area worth great consideration in sensors research
- basic familiarity with implementing surface modification protocols
- tools for further study on individual research questions
Schedule
Thursday-Friday May 2-3, 2013, 10am to 6pm
Registration Closing date: 5:00 pm April 30, 2013.
Cost and Conditions
Cost of the Workshop: $150.00 CDN fee ($172.46 with tax)
