NEWTON, MA – Microfluidics has announced the latest entry in its educational Webinar Series, “Disperse Carbon Nanotubes and Control Conductivity of Polymer Composites.” To register for this event or to view on-demand recorded webinars in the online archive, visit www.microfluidicscorp.com/webinars.

 

Thomai (Mimi) Panagiotou, Chief Technology Officer at Microfluidics, will deliver the presentation and field questions from attendees on Thursday, Feb. 26, from 10-11 a.m. EST and again from 2-3 p.m. EST. The webinar is based on a well-received paper Panagiotou presented at the 2008 NSTI Nanotechnology Conference and Trade Show. Attendees will receive a copy of this paper.

 

The extraordinary strength and unique electrical properties of carbon nanotubes have led many to deem them the breakthrough discovery of the 21st century. From sporting equipment to combat jackets to high-speed computer memory, carbon nanotubes are changing assumptions of what is possible with nanotechnology and helping to render existing products obsolete. By attending the webinar, scientific researchers and engineers will learn how to leverage the benefits of nanotubes with an effective and scalable deagglomeration and dispersion process.

 

Upcoming topics to be featured in the Microfluidics Webinar Series include nanoencapsulation, cancer therapeutics, nutraceuticals and “bottom-up” formation of optimized nanomaterials.
