14. Conference History and Background

Substances are mostly consisted of particles and their aggregates in different scales and phases. The properties and behaviours of such substances are influenced by their compositions, structures and preparation processes. However, characterizing, measuring, manufacturing, handling and processing of the substances still face numerous challenges. Both UK and China have developed large communities in particle science & technology in the past few decades for addressing these challenges. In order to facilitate communications and to foster collaborations among the communities in the world, especially between the two countries, the UK-China Particle Technology Forum, which is a non-profit event series and is run every two years in rotation between UK and China, was initiated in 2007. The conference aims at 1) Enhancing communications between scientists and engineers from both academic institutions and industrial companies of the two countries; 2) Establishing a platform to foster new and substantial collaborations to identify and address common challenges in particle technology. The PTF8 continues the primary objective of the seven previous forums, which were successfully held in 2007 (Leeds, UK), 2009 (Guiyang, China), 2011 (Birmingham, UK), 2013 (Shanghai, China), 2015 (Leeds, UK), 2017 (Yangzhou, China), bet36体育在线: (Edinburgh, UK) to provide opportunities for scientists and engineers to discuss recent advances, to share knowledge and to identify future collaborative research directions in the fields of particle science & technology and their roles in energy, environment, materials, healthcare and other emerging applications. It also aims at consolidating the collaborations established through the seven previous conferences and fostering new collaborations between UK, China and the world.
