1442524IsaacsTitle: Sustainable Nanotechnology ConferenceThe main objective of this proposal is to support a conference on Sustainable Nanotechnology. This is the third conference on this topic, and it is expected to further expand the discipline. The conference will bring together scientific experts from academia, industry, and government from around the world to present and discuss current research findings in sustainable nanotechnology.This conference will address the critical aspects of sustainable nanotechnology such as life cycle assessment, green synthesis, green energy, industrial partnership, economic cost-benefit analysis, environmental and biological fate, environmental health and safety, transport, persistence, transformation, exposure assessment, recyclability, and the overall sustainability of engineered nanomaterials. Plenary lectures and keynotes will address issues such as the development of nanomaterials that, through their life cycle, properties, and material efficiency, provide a framework for achieving more sustainable technologies, while optimizing performance. In principle, this conference involves the fundamental/applied research on the chemistry of producing new green nanomaterials; eco-manufacturing processing of nanomaterials and products. Other aspects include, life-cycle performance, modeling and theoretical analyses of materials and their structures in nanomedicine, energy and industrial applications, and life-cycle cost and economic impacts in real life practice. The use of nanomaterials to alleviate adverse consequences from greenhouse effect, exhaustion, or abundance of natural resources, and environmental health and safety impacts due to the use of nondecomposable materials/composites are also considered appropriate. Special focus will be given to toxicity, transformation, and the interactions with the biological system. The conference will also emphasize opportunities for nanotechnology in sustainability, as well as the economic and societal aspects of nanotechnology.

1442524IsaacsTitle：可持续纳米技术会议本提案的主要目的是支持可持续纳米技术会议。这是该主题的第三次会议，预计将进一步扩大该学科。会议将汇集来自世界各地学术界、工业界和政府的科学专家，介绍和讨论可持续纳米技术的最新研究成果。本次会议将讨论可持续纳米技术的关键方面，如生命周期评估、绿色合成、绿色能源、工业伙伴关系、经济成本效益分析、环境和生物命运、环境健康和安全、运输、持久性、转化、暴露评估、可回收性以及工程纳米材料的整体可持续性。全体会议讲座和主题演讲将讨论诸如纳米材料的发展等问题，通过其生命周期，特性和材料效率，为实现更可持续的技术提供框架，同时优化性能。原则上，本次会议涉及生产新型绿色纳米材料的化学基础/应用研究；纳米材料及产品的生态制造加工。其他方面包括：生命周期性能、纳米医学、能源和工业应用中材料及其结构的建模和理论分析，以及生命周期成本和现实生活中的经济影响。使用纳米材料以减轻温室效应、自然资源枯竭或丰富造成的不利后果，以及由于使用不可分解材料/复合材料造成的环境健康和安全影响，也被认为是适当的。特别的重点将给予毒性，转化，并与生物系统的相互作用。会议还将强调纳米技术在可持续性方面的机会，以及纳米技术的经济和社会方面。
