Advances in new functional materials enable altogether new types of devices and structures. These new devices and structures frequently demand superior material properties and processing not currently available. Advanced materials have strategic importance due to their tailored and unique characteristics, and their wide range of potential applications. Advanced materials and devices contribute to the advancement of a number of applications, including medicine and health, information and communication, space, transportation, structural materials, textiles, agriculture and food science, and the environment. Interdisciplinary research in the area of nanoscale materials plays a vital role in creating these advanced materials. In keeping with the contemporary time, this symposium will emphasize basic and applied interdisciplinary research on nanoscale materials.
Scope of the Conference
This symposium will focus on the research advances and information exchange among Japan and US researchers, and specifically benefit young researchers and scientists in their early careers. This Interdisciplinary symposium will include plenary and keynote talks, invited and selected contributed papers encompassing all fields of multifunctional nanoscale materials. The program will consist of oral and poster presentations. Major areas in which presentations are envisaged:
