Scope:
The recent progress witnessed by ground-breaking researches in the robotics by artificial intelligence (AI) and tissue engineering by induced pluripotent stem (iPS) made it hard to anticipate about the future social life. However, food, life-sustaining biomaterials (hormone, virus, enzyme, etc.) and energy, which are essential for life are constantly being improved based on existing materials and technology. Biologically active organic compounds controls various life functions, therefore, a fusion of biomaterials, energy and informatics is expected to provide efficient novel system for our sustainable growth and development. Biological functions can be imitated by dynamic control of mass and ion transfer including conventional electronics.
Focus of the symposium on organic iontronics organized up to now was directed towards discussion pertaining to the future technology based on human friendly materials and devices. We are sure that our symposium will provide key technologies in the future to solve the issues on environmental protection and energy problems for the life sustainability and need to be organized successively.
This symposium focuses on the biomimetic devices based on organic iontronics, for example, energy devices like biofuel cell and solar cells, biodevices like enzyme sensors, neural network, synapse devices, artificial muscles and organs. The main purpose of this symposium is to provide an opportunity for researchers, who are interested in organic iontronics, to come together in an informal and friendly atmosphere and exchange their technical information and experiences.
