Scope

Structures and functions in biological tissues such as bone and teeth as hard ones, and cartilage, ligament, tendon and skin as soft ones adapt to mechanical loading and/or rubbing actions. Biomedical implants and devices for these tissues are operating under similar mechanical conditions. In this symposium, the various researches in biomechanics and biotribology for biological tissues and biomedical devices will be reported and discussed. Biomechanical and biotribological aspects for articular/regenerated cartilage, artificial cartilage and artificial joint materials will be specially focused.

Topics

  1. Synthesis & Processing of Nanoscale Functional Materials
  2. Characterization of Nanoscale Functional Materials
  3. Nanoscale Functional Materials for Advanced Green Energies
  4. Stractural Designs of Nanoscale Functional Materials
  5. Next-generation Devices using Nanoscle Functional Materials
  6. Nanoscale Functional Materials for Semiconductors, Sensors/Actuators, Photovoltaics, Rechargeable Batteries, Fuel Cells
