The 5 th International Conference "Novel Functional Carbon Nanomaterials" (which follows the conferences named "Diamond and Other New Carbon Materials" held in the frames of previous CIMTEC editions) will highlight recent achievements and challenges in the synthesis, structural control and modeling at the meso- and nano-scales of the variety of low-dimensional carbon allotropes including nanodiamonds, DLCs, buckyballs, nanotubes, graphene and graphene oxides which are credited with large opportunities and promises for a range of emerging or forecast applications in high-speed nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, quantum information processing, quantum computing, energy conversion and storage, biosensors, drug delivery, medical imaging, thermal management, catalysis, nano-lubrication, etc.
Major aspects related to new chemistry, science and technology of growth, functionalisation, characterisation, and electronic, optical, mechanical, thermal and biomedical applications will be approached. Of special interest will be the creation of multifunctional hierarchical architectures based on nanocarbons as building blocks and on integration technologies of carbon-based nanostructures with other inorganic or organic materials to realize micro/nanodevices encouraging novel viable approaches in interfacing materials science, engineering and biology.
