Scope


The symposium will consider the new frontiers and burgeoning fields of thermal studies of materials. A variety of new functional materials, such as high temperature superconductors, solid state ionics, fullerenes and other inorganic and organic substances, will be discussed from the viewpoint of thermal studies. The relationship between the structure and physical properties will be covered with strong emphasis on the phase transition and glass transition mechanisms. New techniques such as nano-calorimetry will be discussed. The invited lectures given by distinguished scientists will cover also the thermal stabilities, phase relationships, and molecular motions in new functional materials. The symposium will be held under the auspices of The Japan Society of Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis (Chairman: Tooru ATAKE) and The Society of Promotion for Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis, Japan (Chairman: Sigeru YAMAUCHI).
