THE EUROPEAN MATERIALS RESEARCH SOCIETY

The European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) is a non-profit making scientific society founded
in 1983 with its Headquarters in Strasbourg, France. The Society focuses its activities on creating
synergy from the interaction between interdisciplinary, innovative fields of materials research. Great
attention is given to spreading and exchanging information and promoting technology transfer from
public institutions to industry.

The primary objective of E-MRS is to promote and enhance the efficiency of research in Europe in
the field of Advanced Materials. E-MRS seeks to quickly inform researchers about the scientific and
technological developments in their fields of interest, taking advantage of the Society’s links with
other Materials Research Societies belonging to the International Union (IUMRS).

Since 2002, in parallel with the Spring Meeting held in Strasbourg which attracts over 1500
participants, Fall Meetings have been held in Warsaw. The 2004 Fall Meeting consisted of 9
symposia running concurrently, Plenary Sessions, a joint session with other symposia and included
an exhibition of relevant products and services as well as training activities for young researchers and
scientists.

E-MRS FALL MEETING 2004 – SYMPOSIUM G

FROM NANOPOWDERS TO FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS

Introduction

Research and development in the whole area of nanomaterials including – thin films, nanowires,
nanocrystals, nano-composites and nanostructured bulk materials – is continuing to increase year by
year. More and more attention is being focused on research to enable greater control of the
structure at nanometer level in order to ensure that the desired functional properties can be
obtained.

The symposium aim was to enable those working at the leading edge of research to present and
debate the progress being made in the theory and applications of functionalised nanoparticles within
a multidisciplinary topic.

Applications of functional materials based on their mechanical, catalytic, electronic, optical and
photonic properties, atomic and transport properties, electrical, magnetic and ferroelectric
properties as well as biocompatibility presented in this symposium are expected to innovate the
nanotechnologies of tomorrow.

As part of the symposium a Joint Session was held with Symposium I – Metal Based
Nanomaterials, Thin Films and Surfaces. This volume includes the abstracts of this Joint Session as
well as the abstracts of the Plenary Session.
