S : Materials Innovation for a Sustainable Future (Poster)
Scope:
Research and development of new materials have become indispensable to the advancement of science and technology. In particular, the realization of carbon neutrality by 2050 requires the creation of materials innovation and its rapid implementation in society.
This symposium invites poster presentations on new synthesis methods, outstanding properties, and unique applications of materials, including metals, ceramics, semiconductors, inorganic materials, organic materials, polymer materials, and their composites.
In other words, rather than focusing on a specific field or theme, we welcome research results from a broad range of disciplines in line with the theme of this annual meeting, presented by researchers pursuing diverse materials.
We hope that researchers engaged in a wide variety of materials research—whether organic or inorganic—will gather together and engage in active discussions, thereby providing new directions for the creation of innovative materials and the advancement of their applications.
