Nanointerface Chemistry

Virtual Only

ACS Spring 2025
Global Virtual Symposium

 

Nanointerface Chemistry

Physical Chemistry Division

Understanding the characteristics of multi-hierarchical structures of nanocomposites and their interactions is crucial, particularly for applications in biomedicine. In this regard, one of the most significant aspects includes the nanointerface, which directly affects the performance of nanomaterials.

This symposium will focus on the equilibration regulation of multi-hierarchical structures of nanomaterials, especially on nanointerface chemistry. It also aims to foster interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations, attracting participants from the diverse fields of materials science, chemistry, physics, and engineering.

The topics will primarily include design, synthesis, assembly and characterization of nanomaterials with controlled interfaces, as well as their application in various scenarios, e.g., in sensing, biomedicine, catalysis, energy storage, and display. 

Symposium Features

Present your research in your local time zone

Inviting all early career chemists from diverse regions such as Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania to deliver flash presentations.

Get exposure and recognition

As a presenter, you will receive a certificate of participation at ACS Meetings.

Abstracts will be listed in the CAS database and can be added to your Google Scholar profile.

Symposium schedule

Symposium will feature multiple sessions from March 23-27.

Sessions will be programmed at convenient daytimes of multiple regions such as Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania; however, for the Americas, these sessions will be at early mornings and late nights.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are Flash presentations?

    They are brief, impactful, and convey information about a novel protocol, perspective, technique, or research results. For instance, one Flash Talk may describe an innovative interdisciplinary research outcome. Another may describe results for a pilot/prototype study.

  • Can I submit an abstract if I'm not an early career researcher?

    This symposium focuses on early career researchers, but all researchers are welcome to attend. However, the format of the presentation will be 8 minutes flash talk.

  • What is the submission deadline for abstracts?

    The submission deadline for abstracts is September 30, 11:59 PM ET.

  • What is the required format for abstracts?

    Abstracts should be 2500 characters or less and include the title, author(s), and a concise description of your research.

  • Can I include images or figures in my abstract?

    Yes, limited use of images or figures is permitted to enhance your abstract's content.

  • When will I know if my abstract is accepted?

    Presenters can expect to receive their acceptance notices approximately 3 months before the meeting. Scheduling notices are sent periodically starting approximately 2 months before the meeting.

  • What if I can't attend the symposium on the scheduled date?

    While attending is encouraged, if you can't participate in real time, you can still submit an abstract for inclusion. In case the abstract is accepted, you can share a recorded version of flash talk.

  • Do I need to register separately if my abstract is accepted?

    Yes, accepted presenters will have to register for ACS Spring 2025. Symposium organizers will reach out to confirm their participation.
