Objectives

　　　Unlimited possibilities are there in creating materials from molecules. During the past decades we have witnessed enormous progress in the chemistry of self-assembly, and various molecular architectures including polymers,
biomolecules, and inorganic components have emerged. This field of chemistry is now evolving from “self-assembly” to“self-organization”, which is today considered as potential approach for the creation of novel and sophisticated materials with tailored structures and functions.
　　　The concept of self-assembly has emerged by various disciplines including organic and inorganic chemistry,
polymer science, as well as colloid and surface chemistry. Although the term of “self-assembly” has been employed
arbitrarily, each discipline has developed its own unique strategies in the progression from molecules to materials. In
this symposium, we will focus on nano-organized films and supermolecules, and discuss the potential of “self-
organization” for the design of functional materials. Furthermore, we will emphasize the science of interdisciplinary
chemical approaches to engineer the surfaces of polymer chains, supermolecules, proteins, etc. This symposium intends to explore the value adding functions of these large molecules and molecular assemblies, by discussing their potential
as functional modules, their interaction with biomolecules, and their self-organization at surfaces and interfaces.
　　　Another feature of this symposium is to bring together some of the world-renowned, leading researchers of
supramolecular chemistry and nano-organized films at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), a top
research center for materials science in Japan. The symposium aims at fostering new trends in materials science and
seeking scientific seeds for 21^st century technologies, through active scientific exchanges among the researchers of
advanced materials, supermolecules, and nano-organized films.
