Description: Current water-treatment technologies require considerable energy consumption. Thus, closely linked to the problem of water shortage is the impending energy crisis. Therefore, intensive research is being aimed at developing water purification processes that are based upon using renewable energy, such as solar energy, rather than energy generated using fossil fuels. There has been an accumulation of reports on the development of photocatalysts, which enable water purification using solar energy as the only driving force. Such photocatalysts, based upon oxide semiconductors, permit the conversion of solar energy into the chemical energy that is required for the oxidation of toxic organic compounds in water. The most promising photocatalyst is titanium dioxide, TiO2, and its solid solutions. The research on TiO2 photocatalysis is multidisciplinary, and progress in this area requires the application of concepts of catalysis and photocatalysis as well as concepts of solid-state chemistry.

Japan is currently the most active country among those carrying out research into the rapidly expanding sphere of Electroceramics; a field that holds tremendous promise for expanding or opening-up a wide range of high-tech applications.

Description: Given that the basic purpose of all research in materials science and technology is to tailor the properties of materials to suit specific applications, phase transformations are the natural key to the fine-tuning of the structural, mechanical and corrosion properties. A basic understanding of the kinetics and mechanisms of phase transformation is therefore of vital importance. Apart from a few cases involving crystallographic martensitic transformations, all phase transformations are mediated by diffusion. Thus, proper control and understanding of the process of diffusion during nucleation, growth, oxidation, sintering, etc are essential for optimising the properties of materials to meet specific needs.

Description: Booming economic development in Asia, particularly of the leading manufacturing industries which produce flat-panel displays, communication-devics, computers and other products in the micro/nano field has stimulated an intense research effort in universities, development-oriented institutions and industrial corporations. Such knowledge-based industries have been enjoying an immense growth-potential and thus there is an urgent need for a solid forum for the exchange of various scientific, technical and management aspects ranging across the entire spectrum of society.
