Meeting

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), on 
behalf of the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) 
Subcommittee of the Committee on Technology, National Science and 
Technology Council (NSTC), will hold a technical interchange meeting 
entitled ``Realizing the Promise of Carbon Nanotubes--Challenges, 
Opportunities and the Pathway to Commercialization'' on September 15, 
2014. The meeting will be sponsored by the National Nanotechnology 
Initiative (NNI) and co-sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration (NASA). The objectives of this meeting are to identify, 
discuss, and report the technical barriers preventing the production of 
carbon nanotube-based materials with electrical and mechanical 
properties approaching theoretical values, and to explore ways to 
overcome these barriers. Obstacles preventing the full exploitation of 
the multifunctional nature of carbon nanotube materials will also be 
discussed. This one-day meeting will assemble some of the Nation's 
leading experts in carbon nanotube research and development, as well as 
executives and experts from the Federal government, academia, and 
private sector.

DATES: The technical interchange meeting will be held Monday, September 
15, 2014 from 8:00 a.m. until 5:15 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The technical interchange meeting will be held at the 
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters, 300 
E Street Southwest, Washington, DC 20546.
