Hybrid Materials 2011 - Hybrid Materials 2011 Second International Conference on Multifunctional, Hybrid and Nanomaterials

Energy, the environment and human health have emerged as strategic priorities not only in research but in all aspects of our lives. Hybrid materials have already demonstrated good promise in addressing and offering solutions in each of these priority areas.

The main objective of this interdisciplinary conference is to bring together, at a truly international level, people with shared interests in hybrid materials, including:
