Symposium 1: Nanospectroscopy (June 1st, 2016)

Chair:

- Prof. Pierre-Michel Adam University of technology of Troyes, France

 

Introduction

Nanospectroscopy is a highly developing recent field of research that is dedicated to new methods or techniques to perform spectroscopy with a nanometric spatial resolution and to the investigation and discovery of new phenomena at the nanometer scale. Nanospectroscopy is at the interface between physics, chemistry and biology and includes both new theoretical and experimental developments.

Topics

• UV / VIS / NIR spectroscopy, absorption and scattering spectroscopies
• Raman scattering and fluorescence, non-linear spectroscopies
• Enhanced surface sensitive spectroscopies : SERS, SEIRA, SEF
• Spectroscopic techniques with (ultra-)high spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution and sensitivity
• Nanoscale systems design and nanofabrication: novel (hybrid) (in)organic nanomaterials
• Physical processes and modelling of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale
• Applications : biochemical sensing, healthcare, photovoltaics, light sources, new materials

Symposium 2: Detection, location & quantification of nanomaterials and by-product released from nano-enable products (June 2nd, 2016)

Chairs: Jean-Yves Bottero, CNRS-CEREGE-France and DUKE University- USA

 

Topics

Detection, location & quantification of Nanomaterial:

• Analysis of exposure and space distribution within biota:  3D reconstruction of materials at the nano and micro resolution : CT micro et Nano
• Transformation, speciation of nanomaterials: X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XANES, EXAFS)
• Aggregation of nanomaterials: SAXS, DLS
• Analysis of complex nano-enabled Products: FFF
• Isotopic analysis to discriminate engineered and natural nano materials
• Single particle ICP-MS

Environnement Applications:

• Water treatment (membranes, adsorbents)
• ground water depollution
• Air depollution

Implications:

• Risks analysis 
• Exposure during the life cycle of products incorporating NMs
• Exposure and transformation along a trophic chain
• Chronic and Acute effects comparison
• Modeling of the exposure and effects

Risk Forecasting

• Probabilistic approach of the risks
• Real analysis along the value chain and modeling
