Scope
Self-organization of designed small molecules, macromolecules, and inorganic matters has become an important research field for this decade, and further development is expected. Strategic organization provides precise architectures at nano-, meso-, and hierarchical levels with no excess energies and no tedious processing procedures. Noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, ion-ion interactions, and aromatic π-π stacking interactions play important roles in creating stable architectures. The resulting structures benefit various unique and new functions in optics, electronics, nanolithography, catalyst, chemicals and biological applications. It is of no doubt that self-organization process contributes to the promising ways for the innovative materials technologies. This symposium covers a variety of research fields related to “self-assembly” and mainly includes following topics; organized molecular films (self-assembled monolayers, Langmuir-Blodgett films etc.), self-assembled materials and supramolecular organization of molecules, macromolecules, and inorganic matters, nanospace and mesoporous materials, organic-inorganic composite materials. Moreover, optical, electronic, chemical, and biological functions of above listed materials, structures and functions of materials, and preparation of novel materials and architectures related to self-organization processes will be discussed. The session organizers would like to develop and deepen this research field by intense discussion between researchers and students who have activities in a variety of academic societies.
