Scope:

This is Special Symposium in honor of Nobel Prize Laureate, Prof. Akira Suzuki. Recently “Carbon Related Materials” have been becoming very popular and important. We promote researches on these materials, including formations, structures, electrical/magnetic/optical properties, mechanical behaviors, in view of their technological applications. We discuss a broad class of ordered and disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental Carbon. Organic materials are included as well as inorganic materials. The Symposium focuses on materials such as diamonds, graphites, graphenes, C-nanotubes, Carbon fibers, composites, etc.; and we discuss them together. One Special Session is organized on CNT composites with respect to a keynote speaker Prof. Sumio Iijima. It is welcome to discuss on chemical bonds of C-C and others such as C-O.

Topics:

1. Preparations and syntheses of Carbon related materials, and fabrication of composites.

2. Material chemistry of disciplines of Carbon related materials, including theoretical/computational approaches.

3. Electrical/magnetic/optical properties of Carbon related materials, including synthetic diamonds, graphites/graphenes, C-nanotubes, buccky balls, Carbon fibers, etc.

4. Evaluations of mechanical behaviors on composites of Carbon related materials.

5. Characterizations on chemical bondings in composites.

6. Devices and applications of carbon related materials and composites.
