Topic: Microstructural analysis by EBSD
When: Wednesday 16th September 2009
Time: 4pm BST, 11am EDT, 5pm CET
Over the past 20 years the SEM (scanning electron microscope) based EBSD (electron back-scattered diffraction) technique has developed into an essential materials characterisation tool for both R&D and industry.
We are delighted to bring you the first snapshot from Biomaterials on Nanoparticles of Biodegradable Polymers for Cancer Treatments authored by Si-Shen Feng of the University of Singapore.
The snapshots section showcases complex scientific data summarized in one illustration. Handy reference guides, snapshots can be cut out of the print edition or downloaded from the web and displayed for quick reference.
David Williams Receives Chandra P. Sharma Award– Biomaterials
Prof. DF Williams, Editor in Chief, Biomaterials, has been selected by the Society for Biomaterials & Artificial Organs (India) to receive the Chandra P. Sharma Award for 2008. The award recognizes the distinguished scientists working in the area of Biomaterials and Artificial Organs.
The Award will be presented to Dr Williams during the national conference of the society to be held at College of Biomedical Engineering and Applied Sciences, Kathmandu, Nepal, November 23-25, 2008.

New Asian Editor for Composites Science and Technology
We are pleased to welcome Professor Wei Yang as the Asian Editor for Composites Science and Technology. Professor Wei Yang is the President of Zhejiang University in China and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
New Editor-in-Chief for 2009 for Materials Characterization
We are delighted to announce Professor Ian Baker as the new Editor-in-Chief for Materials Characterization from January 2009. Ian is the Sherman Fairchild Professor of Engineering and Senior Associate Dean at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College where he has been since 1982.
A Note from the Editor
In 2009 Materials Characterization will be relaunched. It will continue to feature both original articles and short communications on theoretical and practical aspects of the microstructural characterization of materials. In addition, a new feature, tutorial reviews covering various characterization techniques, will appear on a frequent basis.
From 2009, Nano Today will be known as Nano Today: An International Rapid Reviews Journal and will move to a traditional journal format to enable us to bring the research community cutting-edge, peer-refereed reviews covering the latest research in important and novel interdisciplinary areas.
We are delighted that Nano Today received its first Impact factor of 5.929 in 2008.
