The themes represent the major scientific headings for the meeting and reflect the key position of these topics in contemporary materials chemistry. However, in assembling the programme we are also keen to see subjects such as theory and modelling, ionic liquids and liquid crystals represented across the different subjects. Biomaterials Chemistry Encompassing biomaterials for tissue engineering, biomaterials for healthcare, green biomaterials and advanced synthesis methods of biomaterials Electronic and Magnetic Materials This will encompass the relationship between the chemistry and the electronic and/or magnetic properties of inorganic, molecular, hybrid and nano materials using both experimental and computational/theoretical approaches. Energy Materials Encompassing all aspects of Materials Chemistry related to energy conversion, storage and fuel generation. Nanomaterials Chemistry Encompassing synthesis, characterisation and application of materials whose functionality depends on their nanoscale dimensions. Porous Materials This will encompass the chemistry and properties of porous materials for sorption, storage and separation. Soft Matter Materials Chemistry Including wide and varied aspects of soft matter materials showing the power of the interplay between a priori design and physical function.
