This volume contains papers that were presented at the NATO
Advanced Research Workshop on Nanostructured Materials and Coatings
for Biomedical and Sensor Applications held in Kyiv, Ukraine, 4-8
August, 2002. A total of 104 scientists from 14 countries
participated in our ARW, making it a really international event.
Participants ranged from graduate students to senior researchers.
They presented 16 tutorial lectures, 20 short talks and more than
70 posters. Invited speakers, from NATO and Partner countries,
presented some of the most recent developments in physics,
chemistry and technology of nanosized materials. A broad range of
speakers having international standing and representing NATO and
partner countries, as well as university, industrial and govemment
research laboratories participated in this meeting and wrote papers
for this volume. Foregoing ARW gathered together the scientists
working in the area of nanosized materials and coatings and their
applications in biomedicine and sensors. The first objective of
this AR W was to discuss the current research covering a wide range
of physical and chemical properties of biomaterials and their use.
Active discussion of oral presentations and posters, and the round
table discussion gave a good opportunity to researchers from
academia and industry to discuss the achievements in this field and
outline future directions in terms of technological developments
and product commercialisation in the fields of biomedicine and
sensors. Particularly, advanced ceramics and nanostructured carbons
were covered in many presentations.
The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Functional Gradient Materials
and Surface Layers Prepared by Fine Particles Technology" was held
in Kiev (Ukraine) on June 18- 28, 2000 where more than 90
participants, ranging from Ph.D. students to experienced senior
scientists, met and exchanged ideas. This meeting was aimed at
stimulating the research work across traditional disciplinary lines
by bringing together scientists from diverse research areas related
to functional gradient materials and surface layers. It also
intended to give opportunities for initiating collaborative works
between scientists from NATO and Partner countries and to trigger
fruitful and exciting discussions between experienced and young
researchers. In this respect, this NATO-ASI has been quite
successful. The term of functional gradient materials which
originates from Japan in the 1980's describes a class of
engineering materials with spatially inhomogeneous microstructures
and properties (MRS Bulletin, 1995,20, N Degreesl). These materials
can be successfully utilized in various applications like
electronic devices, optical films, anti wear and anti-corrosion
coatings, thermal barrier coatings, biomaterials, to name only a
few. Although these functional gradient materials are not
fundamentally new, the use of nanoparticles in their fabrication
and in surface layers as well has greatly improved their
performances to meet challenging requirements for industrial
applications.
