With Nancomposites 2008 now in its eighth year, and Nanotubes 2008 in its third year, this annual event will bring together international leaders from throughout the nanocomposites and nanotubes supply chain to discuss the latest advances in nanocomposite and nanotube products and processing methods, and how these can be used to full advantage in commercial applications.. |

What’s changing for nanocomposites?
The global nanocomposites market had revenues of $33.7m in 2006, according to Frost & Sullivan*, which estimates this figure to reach $144.6m in 2013. As well as examining why real commercial success with nanocomposites has advanced more slowly than originally anticipated, Nanocomposites 2008 will include presentations showing how new breakthroughs are being made to overcome technical challenges that have previously restrained the widespread uptake of these materials. New applications will be showcased, and ways in which the cost perspective for nanocomposites is being reshaped will be explored.

The promise of nanotubes Nanotubes are recognised as a highly promising material in a wide range applications. There is increasing interest from aerospace, consumer goods and industrial product markets to use nanotubes to impart enhanced thermal, mechanical and electrical properties in composite systems. The Nanotubes 2008 conference will be packed with presentations which deal with improvements and advances in processing and quality control issues. It will also feature a unique panel of potential users talking about how they would like to see nanocomposites generally, and nanotubes specifically, evolving. |

Stay one step ahead
|
| Don’t miss out on this opportunity to realise the full business potential of nanocomposites and nanotubes. Making the bridge between research and commercial application, this outstanding event will benefit business leaders, market and business development specialists, product development/innovation engineers, designers, technical leaders and research and development professionals. |
|
Build strong alliances across the supply chain
|
| Frost & Sullivan recommends that companies wanting to achieve market success should establish alliances and build strong relationships with participants across the supply chain, spanning nanoparticle producers to end users. Nanocomposites and Nanotubes 2008 provides the ideal opportunity to establish and reinforce both research and supply chain partnerships. The conferences offer plenty of networking opportunities as well as a chance to relax with key players in the nanocomposite industry at the conference dinner on the evening of 11 March, which will be held at one of Brussels’ best-known and stylish restaurants. |
