The third international New Diamond and Nano Carbons Conference (NDNC 2009) presented high-impact scientific and technological advances, along with critical developments to enable the application of diamond, carbon nanostructures and related materials in a diverse range of products.
Conference History
The first NDNC conference was held in Osaka, Japan, in 2006, after the merger of the ADC (Applied Diamond Conference) and ICNDST (International Conference on New Diamond Science and Technology). The second conference followed in Taipei, Taiwan, in 2008. NDNC benefits from the long history of ADC and ICNDST, and has now become the home base for the fast-growing field.
Scientific Program
The conference spanned four days and featured oral and poster presentations covering:
- Diamond Science and Technology
- Nanocarbon Science and Technology
- Graphene, Carbon Fibers and Other Nanocarbon Applications
- Diamond-Like Carbon Science and Applications
- Biological and Electrochemical Applications
- Sensor, Electronic and Optical Applications
- Emerging Topics in Diamond and Nanocarbons
- Commercial Applications and Business Opportunities
Conference Venue
Traverse City and the Grand Traverse Resort & Spa are situated in the northwest corner of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, on Lake Michigan’s East Grand Traverse Bay.
