Scope:
The interfaces produced by soft materials such as polymers, biomolecules, colloids, and liquid crystals exhibit dynamic physical properties, and their structure and properties significantly depend on the external environment. DeGennes named this dynamic interface "soft interface". Quantitative analysis of soft interfaces is difficult due to the dynamic nature and complexity of living organisms, thereby the “soft interface” is yet a frontier field of science where many challenges still remain. Advancements in science and technology related to new material creation and physical property analysis show no signs of waning. New soft interfaces are continually emerging, and new insights into these interfaces are progressively being elucidated. Based on these understandings, material development is actively pursued. Thus, it is expected that new academic fields will be emerged by broadening the scope of soft interfaces in various aspects such as molecular design, material synthesis, molecular recognition, biomaterial development, measurement methods, and simulation. In this symposium, we will promote soft interface research and aim to stimulate research and expand networks among researchers through lectures by young researchers in addition to top scientists.
