Scopes and Chairs of Technical Sessions

TS-1
7/2
(Room 101)
Macromolecular & Soft Materials
 Chair: Dr. Masanobu Naito
This session features a breadth of the most exciting and state-of-the-art aspects of macromolecules.  Topics will include an inquiry of hierarchical structures with macromolecular building blocks, sophisticated synthetic techniques that enable the exploration of new applications, the interplay between chemistry and mechanics in soft materials, physics of molecular networks, and dynamical behavior of polymers in the nano-confined state.  These interdisciplinary entanglements can be exploited to create novel & fascinating materials.
TS-2
7/2-3
(Room 102)
Advanced Biomaterials
 Chair: Dr. Mitsuhiro Ebara
This session includes the latest innovations in biomaterials science, molecular and cell biology and engineering, new opportunities and mechanisms for translation of these findings to new medical treatment. 
TS-3
7/2-3
(Hall 200)
Advanced Organic Materials
 Chair: Dr. Takashi Nakanishi
New design principles for organic soft materials, which are particularly controlled and understood at the molecular level, are this session’s lineup. Intermolecular interactions play a key role to regulate morphology and phase of the soft materials, which further determine their properties/functions in terms of optoelectronic, mechanical, and biological applications. Future research directions and perspectives for those advanced organic materials are discussed in this session.
TS-4
7/2
(Hall 200)
Advanced Soft-photonic Materials
 Chair: Dr. Hiroshi Fudouzi
Polymer and organic molecules based photonic materials are emerging research fields in past decade. These materials have flexible mechanical property and smart function in gels, elastomer and polymer composites.  For example, the soft photonic materials will lead to advanced optical and photonic flexible devices with electro luminescence, laser emission, Bragg's diffraction and photonic sensing. This session focuses on synthesis, process, design and function of advanced soft photonic materials.
TS-5
7/2-3
(Room 102, 101)
Soft-electronic and Ionic Materials
 Chair: Dr. Masayoshi Higuchi
Soft materials with electronic, photonic and ionic properties have received much attention for electronics applications. This session focuses on design, synthesis, properties and device fabrication of recent soft-electronic and ionic materials.
