TT.VIII - Technical Multi-Track with Parallel SYMPOSIA
Smart materials for neuro-applications
Co-organized with INL Chairs: Andrea CAPASSO, INL, Portugal & Mattia BRAMINI, UGR, Spain
This session will delve into the cutting-edge realm of 2D and 3D biomaterials, with a special focus on carbon-based materials, and their transformative potential in neural applications. Such smart materials are at the forefront of nanomedicine, promising innovative solutions for neural repair and neuroprosthetics. The talks will explore the properties and functionalities of selected smart materials to highlight their role in advancing the understanding and treatment of neurological conditions. This field will likely pave the way for groundbreaking developments in the future of nanomedicine.
