Paper EW-WeB1
Thiol Applications: Model Surfaces, Cutting Edge Technologies and Educational Platforms

Wednesday, October 17, 2007, 10:00 am, Room Exhibit Hall

In this workshop we will highlight the use of alkanethiols in biomaterials, nanotechnology and molecular electronics. For decades, thiols have been used to control surface chemistry and study surface interactions in a wide range of fields. Thiols have again come into the forefront of research with the new developments in nanoparticles and increased interest in self-assembling systems. Come learn about how thiols are being used today and see a new educational kit developed by Asemblon for teaching about nanotechnology and surface modification
