Abstract

The Nanotechnology Research Group (NANO⁺) at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Nigeria organized her 5^th international conference on nanotechnology on 26-28 October 2021 using both physical and Zoom platforms (hybrid). The conference coded ‘LAUTECH NANO 2021’ with the theme ‘Nanotechnology in Africa: Changing the Narratives for the Benefits of Mankind’ provided a platform for African nations to explore nanotechnology to engender the much-desired growth and development on the continent, and to also bridge the gap of nanotechnology divide between Africa and the developed nations. In this regard, active players and seasoned scholars in nanotechnology R&D in Africa and other countries shared their experiences and visions with participants. In addition, fifty-seven (57) papers were presented at the technical sessions in diverse areas of science, engineering, agriculture, and biomedicine from 45 institutions/agencies in more than 10 countries. This book of abstracts contains the schedule of activities, welcome addresses, goodwill messages, keynote addresses, invited/plenary lectures, and abstracts of oral presentations.
