Welcome The SNO organizing commi�ee welcomes you back to California and the Sixth Annual SNO
Conference. The objec#ve of this conference is to bring together scien#fic experts from
academia, industry, and government agencies from around the world to present and discuss
current research findings on the subject of nanotechnology and sustainability.
This year's SNO technical sessions represent a hybrid of topics on selected "systems" that
contribute to sustainability and more tradi#onal topics. Sessions have been populated with
talks on applica#ons, effects and implica#ons, analy#cal methods, and lifecycle aspects of
nanomaterials within each system. The aims are to iden#ty where nanomaterials and
nanotechnology can improve the sustainability of each system and to foster integra#on of
knowledge between applica#ons and implica#ons within each system. We also included papers
on the applica#ons of nanomaterials to sustainability. Papers on lifecycle aspects of
nanomaterials within each system or across systems are well-represented. New developments
in analy#cal methods and instrumenta#on are also addressed.
One uniqueness of this year’s program is a session on Tribute to Professor Pedro Alvarez.
Alvarez has significantly contributed to eco-responsible nanotechnology through pioneering
research on how engineered nanomaterials interact with bacteria, elucida#ng their mode of
ac#on and discerning poten#al impacts to microbial ecosystem services. He also opened new
opportuni#es for nano-enabled greener disinfec#on and biofouling control, as well as for
enhanced (selec#ve) removal of priority water pollutants. Recently, Alvarez led a mul#-
university effort to establish a NSF Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for
Nanotechnology-Enabled Water Treatment (NEWT), which is developing easy-to-deploy, next-
genera#on modular treatment processes that protect lives and support sustainable
development. It is a great honor to be able to recognize Alvarez’s contribu#on at this year’s
conference.
We want to thank the program commi�ee members and the session chairs for pu6ng together
an excellent technical program. We want to offer a special thank you to the NSF,
Environmental Science: Nano, and the conference sponsors whose generous support have
allowed us to plan such an ambi#ous mee#ng.
In closing, we thank you for par#cipa#ng in the Sixth SNO annual conference. And we hope you
enjoy the next three days.

About SNO
SNO is a non-profit, interna#onal professional society dedicated to advancing sustainable
nanotechnology around the world through educa#on, research, and promo#on of responsible
growth of nanotechnology. The mission of SNO is to provide pla7orms where scien#sts,
engineers, and other professionals can exchange informa#on and ideas for the development
and responsible applica#on of nanotechnology that would lead to overall sustainability. Hence
the annual conference of SNO is a place where the new community of sustainable
nanotechnology is being formed and advanced. SNO is very unique in its mission of focusing
on a very new technology and its rela#onship to sustainability. No other organiza#on has this
type of combina#on of science and values.
SNO started from discussions at the inaugural Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on
Environmental Nanotechnology held in Waterville, Valley, N.H., in 2011, with 157 a�endees
from 14 countries (h�p://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?)year=2011&program=environano)).
In just 5 years of existence, SNO has organized five annual conferences that have brought
together close to 2,000 nanotechnology prac##oners in various venues within the US and
around the world. SNO has also organized five workshops to date and has produced three
workshop reports on thema#c subjects.
SNO has recognized leaders in the field of nanotechnology through the SNO awards and has
engaged the young and upcoming groups of students, postdocs and other young inves#gators
through its travel grants, poster awards, Young Inves#gator awards and Nanopitch
compe##ons. SNO has broadened its appeal to the wider community through its par#cipa#on
in the USA Science & Engineering Fes#val since 2013. Through this program, it has presented
short ac#vi#es/hand-on ac#vi#es related to sustainable nanotechnologies and also presented
a workshop on “Communica#ng Nanostuff.” The organiza#on has partnered with other
organiza#ons such as the Royal Society of Chemistry to produce special issues and the
American Chemical Society. SNO has reached across the con#nents by working with other
partners in Europe and Asia.
SNO publishes periodic newsle�ers about its ac#vi#es. SNO’s newsle�er is one way of keeping
its members informed of what is going on in the organiza#on and archiving programs and
events. SNO also offers publishing opportuni#es with its journal partners, displays informa#on
about sustainable nanotechnology at science expos, and maintains student chapters at several
university campuses. As a young organiza#on, SNO is open to new ideas and tries showcase
the projects of its members. Membership of SNO is open to all individuals as well as
ins#tu#ons that are engaged in research and development of nanotechnologies such as
applica#ons, implica#ons, methods and protocols. SNO invites nanotechnology related
industries to par#cipate in the advancement of the organiza#on and its mul#faceted ac#vi#es.

2017 CONFERENCE SESSIONS
1. Tribute to Pedro Alvarez Pedro Alvarez has significantly contributed to eco-responsible nanotechnology through pio-neering research on how engineered nanomaterials interact with bacteria, elucidating their mode of action and discerning potential impacts to microbial ecosystem services. He also opened new opportunities for nano-enabled greener disinfection and biofouling control, as well as for enhanced (selective) removal of priority water pollutants. Recently, Alvarez led a multi-university effort to establish a NSF Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Nanotechnology-Enabled Water Treatment (NEWT), which is developing easy-to-deploy, next-generation modular treatment processes that protect lives and support sustainable development.
2. Food/Agriculture This session centers on Nanotechnology for food production, pesticide delivery, nutrient de-livery, disease suppression, food fortification, and environmental implications.
3. Water This session focuses on applications of nanotechnology to address water or air contami-nants, including applications in water supply, wastewater treatment and industrial air quali-ty control.
4. Fate and Exposure This session will consider studies addressing nanomaterial release, fate and transport, transformations, and exposure modelling.
5. Nanotoxicology This session emphasizes the evaluation of the effects (i.e. positive or negative) that ad-vanced nanomaterials have on the environment and human health.
6. Life Cycle It is important to consider a life-cycle perspective when evaluating the applications of nano-technology, from raw materials to synthesis, and from product use to end of life. Papers in this session can address the entire life-cycle of particular applications, or the implications in specific life-cycle phases, including recycling.
7. Sensors/Measurement Papers in this session focus on the need to develop sensors, new instruments, approaches, and/or further refinement of existing tools for characterizing nanomaterials and using nano-materials as sensors to detect chemicals of interest.
8. Green Synthesis This session focuses on the synthesis of nanomaterials with lowered energy and fewer pol-luting by-products and starting materials. Environmentally benign methods for forming in place, incorporating lithography, vacuum coating and spray coating; mechanical synthesis (‘top-down’ method that reduces the size of particles by attrition, for example, ball milling or planetary grinding); gas phase synthesis, such as plasma vaporization, chemical vapor synthesis and laser ablation; and green wet chemistry, the range of techniques that are

2017 CONFERENCE SESSIONS (contd)
19. Education/Social aspects Papers in this session will address nano-education programs and curriculum development. In addition, societal aspects, such as laws, regulations, economics, and social issues, will be covered.
10. Nanomedicine This session will accept papers that deal with the use of various types of nanoparticles for use in medicine, particularly to diagnose and treat cancer.
