WHAT IS the ChemSAM workshop?
The chemistry of surfaces is a crucial factor in many aspects of life. The interactions of microbes with material surfaces can determine success or failure in water treatment technology or can even spell out life-threatening situations when concerning hospital equipment. Thus, the methods to generate new materials with unique chemistry and function, together with the complementary synthetic chemistry toolbox, are important in order to tailor surfaces to fit these needs. With these methods, surfaces can, for instance, be modified to decrease the susceptibility for biofilm growth on the surface or to be a key tool in the study of biological phenomena.
In this event, we seek to interactively exchange our knowledge in this field, which will be achieved through a series of lectures and poster presentations, whereby the best poster shall be awarded a prize (sponsored by Elsevier). The scientific discussions resulting from these presentations will increase the knowledge of researchers from all over the world who are interested in surface applications for water technology and biology.
We welcome as special guests the delegation from The Netherlands!
Registration is mandatory, at no cost. There is limited space available! So register soon!
