Everyday Nanotechnology Conference

Cleveland will be hosting "Nano Week" October 17-21. One of the events in the Nano week is a conference, Oct. 17-19, that focuses on three industry specific applications: Aerospace, automotive and consumer products. Companies like 3M, Procter & Gamble, NanoDynamics, etc. will be presenting on consumer products. Click here for a schedule.

"Finally, a Nanotechnology Conference Completely Dedicated to Today's Product Applications.
Get beyond the research. Beyond the hype. And explore the next generation of products and applications that will transform the aerospace, automotive, and consumer product markets. Join us for the most applications-focused nanotechnology conference ever held, anywhere in the world.

With three industry-specific conference tracks, your entire day is focused on nanotechnology applications for your industry. Learn what major manufacturers and product developers are focused on and what products are coming next. There’s even a University Commercialization Showcase where you can make contacts and discuss application-needs with nanotechnology-transfer agents from top university research programs."

There is also a lot of 'everyday' textile nanotech at EuroFutureTex (www.eurofuturetex.com) and at TNTlog (www.cientifica.com/blog/mt/)

Thanks for the post. I have also heard of some other companies. For example, Schoeller Textil in Sevelen, Switzerland, http://www.schoeller-textiles.com, have nanotextiles that are water resistant (http://www.nano-sphere.ch).

Also, JR Nanotech in London, http://www.jrnanotech.com/socks.html, have developed socks with silver nanoparticles that act as odorizers. I will probably do a post on the silver and gold nanoparticles acting as antibacterial probes.
