On September 21, 2022, the Nankai Mini-Symposium on Advanced Functional Materials was held successfully. The symposium was jointly hosted by the School of Materials Science and Engineering, NKU, and the Chemical Society of Japan. It was conducted on-lineonline. More than 50 experts and scholars from China and Japan attended the meeting upon invitation, and presented a brilliant cloud-based academic feast to the participating teachers and students. The conference was sponsored by the 111 Project.



Under the theme of the creation and application of inorganic functional materials, the participants conducted academic exchanges. Prof. Bu Xianhe, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering, NKU, attended the symposium and delivered the welcome remarks. Prof. Mitsuhiko Shionoya of the University of Tokyo, Prof. Guo Xuefeng of the Peking University, Prof. Kentaro Tanaka of the Nagoya University, Prof. Yang Haibo of the East China Normal University, Prof. Shin Aoki of the Tokyo University of Science and Prof. Yi Tao of the Donghua University also attended the symposium and delivered academic reports.


The symposium is composed of two sessions. The first session was chaired by Prof. Yi Tao of the Donghua University. Prof. Mitsuhiko Shionoya, Prof. Guo Xuefeng and Prof. Kentaro Tanaka presented a comprehensive and detailed explanation on topics such topics as supramolecular chemistry, single-molecule sciences and molecular capturing in liquid crystals. Prof. Guo Xuefeng emphasized that challenges and opportunities will coexist in single-molecule sciences, and stressed the need to establish a molecular compound system with excellent performance and a clear structure-activity relationship, for the purposes of realizing controllable and adjustable properties at the molecular level. In the second session chaired by Prof. Li Wei of the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Prof. Yang Haibo, Prof. Shin Aoki and Prof. Yi Tao delivered reports focusing on the function and application research of mechanically interlocked dendrimers and cyclometalated iridium complexes, among others. All the experts, scholars and participating teachers and students held a warm academic discussion.





Upon the conclusion of the symposium, all students said that they benefited greatly from the event. Some participating students said that the symposium helped them to gain a deeper understanding of the research in the field of advanced functional materials, and that the reports delivered by the experts and professors inspired their topics.

 

It is the 3rd time for the School of Materials Science and Engineering to hold a symposium on advanced functional materials, which represents the school’s effective attempt to vigorously gear the scientific research to international standards, and plays an active role in building NKU’s NKU materials science into a “Double First-Class” discipline.
