The Institute of Nanotechnology has previously o rganised three international conferences on textiles, providing an international platform where a diverse community of professionals from industry, academia and fashion can come together to share information, research findings and practical experiences – ranging from nano to smart textiles.
Building on the success and popularity of previous textile conferences, the IoN is organising a further conference at The Royal College of Physicians in London on March 18th – 19th 2009 on this subject, bringing together multiple disciplines and various technologies and developments in the textiles arena. The conference will have an application side, as to where textile developments can be used by various industries, as well as keeping the audience up to date on the latest technologies and ideas being developed.
Conference Aims:
- To raise awareness of the potential for advanced technologies and the opportunities they present for the future success of the textile industry.
- To showcase novel textile technologies.
- To consider the implications of advances in technology on maintaining the competitiveness of the industrial and fashion textile industries.
- To bring together a multi-disciplinary delegation, to encourage discussion and advance collaborative opportunities.

2009 Albert Franks Memorial Lecture, given by Richard Jones :
'What Next for Nanotechnology?'
18 March 2009: The Royal Colleg e of Physicians, London , UK
Early applications of nanotechnology have exploited the exciting new properties that matter exhibits at the nanoscale. Increasingly we will see new applications with considerably more functionality. Some of these will exploit quantum properties in increasingly sophisticated ways, while others will emulate the intricate mechanisms of cell biology.
Many of these potential applications will help us meet the pressing needs of society in areas such as energy and medicine, though attention needs to be paid to addressing potential risks, and the broader societal and ethical implications of nanotechnologies, in order to retain public support.
