- Symposiumsite is opened.
Functional polymers are key materials in various fields including life science, nanotechnology and energy issues to develop sustainable future. This symposium focused on the synthesis, essential properties and applications of a wide spectrum of functional polymers. Outstanding young scientists in various specialized fields are invited to this symposium both from Ja-pan and United States. Active discussions in this symposium should be beneficial for all participants to create a new dire-ction of functional polymers for the next generation.
