SCOPE OF THE MEETING

Bright X-ray source in the 3 rd generation of synchrotron radiation made possible to observe detailed nano size structures and dynamics. Successful results have come out in the field of polymers and metals in the past decade. Now, its application seems to extend to the field of nano-medicine and health care, including drug delivery system, bio-imaging, structural analysis of hair, characterization of advanced detergents and shampoo.

The program consists of invited and contributed lectures divided in sessions on the use of synchrotron SAXS/WAXD, imaging and tomography, soft X-rays, X-ray spectroscopy, GISAXS and reflectivity, micro-beams. Poster contributions are more than welcome and will be highlighted during the poster sessions.
