Abstract
The NanoTech Poland is an annual international conference with a strong scientific agenda focused on nanotechnology in energy, environment, and biomedicine. The Nanotech Poland 2018 was held at the NanoBioMedical Centre and Department of Physics at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań from June 6th to June 9th. The aim of NanoTech Poland 2018 was to bring together the scientific community’s principal investigators, scientists, researchers, analysts, clinicians, policy makers, industry experts, and well-established and budding entrepreneurs to discuss the present and future perspectives in nanotechnology and nanoscience research and development. This year, the 1st Symposium on Polydopamine was held on June 6th. This forum was dedicated to the application of polydopamine and related catechol materials in a variety of research fields, both at the nano- and macroscale. The symposium gathered leading scientists from this important research field from top universities and institutions that have been involved in the research revolved around polydopamine. With over 200 national and international participants, NanoTech Poland 2018 and the 1st Symposium on Polydopamine provided a forum to present and discuss the latest scientific news from the field of nanotechnology with a strong interdisciplinary aspect and bioinspired materials.
Highlights
The NanoTech Poland 2018 international conference served as a forum dedicated to a multidisciplinary approach toward nanotechnology, where biologists, chemists, physicists, material scientists, and engineers found an opportunity to share their ideas, knowledge, and latest achievements in the field
The NanoTech Poland 2018 was divided into two parallel sessions that were focused on nanobiomedicine and advanced nanomaterials
The 1st Symposium on Polydopamine and NanoTech Poland 2018 was a great success as a result of the high quality of the oral and poster contributions, as well as the warm and friendly atmosphere which helped strengthen existing networks and build new ones between scientists contributing efforts to the study of catechols and future of nanotechnology
Summary
The NanoTech Poland 2018 international conference served as a forum dedicated to a multidisciplinary approach toward nanotechnology, where biologists, chemists, physicists, material scientists, and engineers found an opportunity to share their ideas, knowledge, and latest achievements in the field. The session started with a talk by Dr Radosław Mrówczyński who presented the application of polydopamine in preparation for multifunctional materials, both at the micro- and nanoscale, and addressed the main features of polydopamine responsible for its successful application in the field of nanomedicine He pointed out problems in liver cancer therapy and described a new material having contrasting properties in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assembling magnetic nanoparticles and polydopamine suitable for combined chemo- and photothermal therapy of liver cancer [22,23,24,25,26,27]. He addressed the challenges in the application of nanomaterials to agriculture, and briefly presented the developments in this important field He showed new hollow materials from polydopamine obtained via polymerization of dopamine in EtOH in the presence of sodium chloride crystals, which served as a sacrificed template in the latter step. Seven posters were dedicated to this special Symposium, and the Best Poster Award was granted by the Poster Session Committee to Younseon Wang, who was awarded by the journal Biomimetics
