Chairman
V.Ya. Shevchenko (Russia)
The aim of the EcerS Topical Meeting is to provide a
forum for researchers and engineers bringing together
the scientists working on the problems of nanoscience
and ceramics. The scope of the meeting ranges from
fundamentals to technical applications.
The
EcerS
Topical
Meeting
“Nanoparticles,
Nanostructures and Nanocomposites” is organized by
the Institute of Silicate Chemistry of the Russian
Academy of Sciences and promoted by the European
Ceramic Society and the Russian Ceramic Society.
