'Nano’ is all about small. A dispersed system is smaller than its agglomerated or aggregated precursor. The fundamental physical principles outlining dispersion in small systems will be discussed. This should act as a primer to those interested in making stable systems < 100 nm

Who should attend?
Anyone concerned with nanotechnology especially those new to dispersion of larger systems to nominally nanosystems (< 100 nm)


What will you learn?
The difficulties of making small dispersed materials from top-down processes and the general factors in achieving ‘good’ dispersion in systems
