Karazin University Participated offline in the International Conference on Nanomaterials

25 september 2023 year

From September 10th to 15th, the 13th International Conference "Nanomaterials: Applications&Properties" (NAP) took place in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Senior Researcher at the Institute of Materials for Reactor Building and Physical Technologies of the Education and Scientific Institute "School of Physics" at Karazin University, Olga Maksakova, participated in the conference. She presented a report titled "Comparative Study of the Microstructure and Properties of Nanolaminated Coatings TiZrN/NbN and TiSiN/NbN" (co-authors: Professors Vyacheslav Beresnev and Sergii Lytovchenko). This presentation was recognized as one of the top three presentations in the "Multifunctional Thin Films and Coatings" category.

The conference primarily focused on showcasing new fundamental and applied results in the field of applications and properties of various groups of nanomaterials and coatings.

The conference is multidisciplinary, covering 13 thematic areas, ranging from methods of nanomaterial synthesis and transport properties of nanoscale systems to the application of nanomaterials in biomedicine and green energy.

This year, the conference brought together approximately 300 participants from 40 countries around the world. The invited speakers included:

• Yuri Gogotsi, a Ukrainian-American scientist in the fields of chemistry, materials science, and nanotechnology, founder and director of the Drexel University Institute for Nanomaterials.
• Professor Yannick K. Maier from the University of Tübingen in Germany, who works in the fields of nuclear physics, nanotechnology, and particle physics.
• Vladimir Tsukruk, the head of the Microanalysis Center in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Editor-in-Chief of the journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.
