Scope:
This international symposium is organized by FIT-ME, the Research Center for Materials and Energy Devices of Fukuoka Institute of Technology. This research center aims at developing novel energy devices such as power generators and actuators by mounting newly synthesized inorganic/polymer nanocomposite materials, as achieved by fusion of the research fields of materials chemistry, robotics, and information processing technology. Inorganic layered materials are expected as important counter part for development of the composite materials for such devices as well as for other many applications.
Thus, the 1st FIT-ME symposium mainly focuses on chemistry and applications of inorganic layered materials such as clays, graphene, transition metal oxides. The main scope of the symposium includes: synthesis and properties of nanosheet/polymer composite plastics and gels; photochemical, electric, magnetic, catalytic properties of layered materials; intercalation chemistry of layered materials for fabrication of nanostructured functional materials; exfoliation of layered materials and reconstruction into functional materials; the functional colloids of nanosheets as inorganic liquid crystals and their hierarchical structure. Other related themes on materials chemistry, analytical techniques, robotics, and powergenration systems will also be discussed.
