With a new name that reflects a growing interest in the nanotechnology sector, the TAPPI 2011 International Conference on Nanotechnology for Renewable Resources takes place June 6-8, 2011, in Arlington, Va. USA. The conference will provide the latest findings in research and applications in nanotechnology from around the world.

In its sixth year, this conference continues to grow and is a gathering place for a unique community of industry experts, scientists, health and safety specialists, legal and government policy makers, and leading researchers to learn about the latest in nanotechnology research and development.

Formerly known as TAPPI's International Conference on Nanotechnology for the Forest Products Industry, the title of this annual conference has been changed to reflect the advances in nanotechnology in renewable materials and their widespread applications in many other industries.

This year's conference theme is "Nanotechnology for a Sustainable Future." Presentations will focus on several key thematic areas such as:

• Nanocellulosics and Nanocomposites
• Applications of Renewable Nanomaterials
• Nanostructured materials by Self Assembly
• Nanotech Coatings and Novel Nano-Enabled Functionalities
• Governmental & Environmental Issues

Abstracts are currently being accepted for this one-of-a-kind event. View the call for papers.
