Objectives

Materials science has made remarkable advances lately by paving the way for the design of internal nano-structures. Metal oxides with nano-scale periodicities could become high-temperature superconductors. The giant magneto-resistance (GMR) effects and properties of thermoelectric materials have been improved sharply by controlling their supper-lattice structures. The optical properties of photonic crystals can also be designed widely through forming submicron-scale periodic structures. These studies are now heavily dependent on Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and other thin-film fabrication processes. Recently, however, many bottom-up technologies applicable for metals and metal oxides are rapidly developing. Organization of inorganic materials in the nano- to submicron-scale is becoming a major trend in materials science.

Another trend is an increasing interest in environmental and energy issues. The typical examples are water purification system and fuel cell. For studying these issues, we need to systematize the absorption and selective permeation of molecules, catalytic reaction, and other phenomena in the submicron-scale. Nanotubes and nanosheets seem to be key elements for such system. However, surface characteristics and the functions of these new materials in micro-environment are not deeply understood. Colloid science has treated the subjects of diffusion, water repellency, and other molecular properties, and revealed that these behaviors often change discontinuously in the nano- to submicron-scale. Nanomaterials with peculiar structures may show new functions beyond what can now be predicted.

This symposium is aimed at discussing unknown functions of inorganic materials that appear in the nano- to submicron-scale. In the symposium, distinguished researchers will be requested to deliver the latest results of their nanomaterials research and to encourage participants to argue the novel phenomena peculiar to the nano-structures. New trends in materials science including aesthetic oxide-clusters and supermolecules, and their self-organization will also be discussed. Another purpose of this symposium is to invite leading researchers in the field of colloid and surface chemistry to thoroughly discuss the molecular properties in micro-environments. Profound discussions about surface phenomena, assembly of nanomaterials, and interaction with molecules and bio-molecules will help us discover the key technologies in the 21st century.
