Scope

Recent advances in analytical technologies have brought about not only new facts and methods, but also novel points of view in evaluating materials and environmental technologies. Rapid and effective analytical methods or evaluation systems for the materials are necessary to solve environmental problems such as radioactive wastes. Hyphenated and hybrid analytical methods are considered efficient and powerful techniques in evaluating complicated materials and systems. Novel methods and techniques for analyzing nano-systems are also in demand. Information on chemical composition is requisite in considering the life cycle of products and the disposal of hazardous chemicals. The development of material database and their effective use is also a key solution to the present social and technological problems. Education of young people in this field is also in our scope. The symposium welcomes reports and discussions on the analytical and assessment techniques and methods for the advancement and education of material technologies and environmental chemistry.
