Materials for a Sustainable Future

Sponsored by Cornell Center for Materials Research and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)-Cornell University Center for Energy and Sustainability. The CCMR ??? KAUST-CU first joined Symposium will take place at Statler Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, on May 18, 2009. The CCMR focuses on advanced materials and the KAUST-CU Center focuses on a new tunable materials platform based on nanoscale inorganic-organic hybrid materials recently discovered at Cornell. The materials and processes developed at both centers have applications in multiple fields related to sustainability. This year???s program will reflect the current interest on materials synthesized using sustainable processes or enabling them. It will focus amongst others on the synthesis of green materials and carbon dioxide capture, sequestration and use. The symposium will include presentations showcasing advances in these fields of research at Cornell and will also have the ever-popular poster session highlighting our entire research portfolio and graduate students and postdocs. Registration is open MAY 18, 2009, Cornell University, Ithaca NY
