  ‘Nanotechnology and Smart Materials for Medical Devices’  
  June 11, 2003

Medical Research (others)

 
     
  Nanoforum, Edinburgh, Scotland
1 - 2 December 2003


•Diagnostics – increased speed, accuracy and functionality through microsystems and nanotechnology
The use of small molecular ensembles, single nanoparticles and single molecules in chip devices and internal diagnostics. Lower cost and higher performance products

•Imaging – the contribution of novel nanomaterials and sensors
How nanotechnology will enable us to see, interpret and understand the physical world at the nano-scale in a way not previously before

•Power Systems – nanoactuators, electronic polymers and nanoengineered biofuel cells
Nanotechnology as a route to overcoming current limitations in power supply to implants by offering alternative means of power generation

•Tissue Engineering –nano-scaffolds and nanobiocompatible materials Tissue engineering at the nanoscale level is leading to the development of viable alternatives that can replace, restore, maintain or improve the function of human tissues and organs

•Surface Modification – Nanoindentations and NanoComposites for Biofunctionality
Nanotechnology as the basis for improving biological compatibility through chemical and physical surface modifications.

•Implants and Devices – Interactive medical implants for therapeutic applications and sensory replacement Present and Future
The integration of nanotechnology applications to provide the fully internal, biocompatible implant
