The 9th International Conference on Novel Materials and their Synthesis (NMS-IX) and the 23rd International Symposium on Fine Chemistry and Functional Polymers (FCFP-XXIII) were held jointly in Shanghai from 17 to 22 October, 2013. The Conference received support from IUPAC, The Natural Science Foundation Committee of China, the Science and Technology Commission of the Shanghai Municipality, and Shanghai Key Laboratory of Molecular Catalysis and Innovative Materials.
The scientific program comprised 8 plenary lectures, 30 keynote lectures, and 120 invited lecturesers. Detailed, active, and lively discussions were covered by the following themes:
innovative chiral and achiral compounds;
innovative bio- and biobased materials and composites;
innovative polymers such as conducting, semiconducting ones, supramolecular (supermolecular, dynamers);
innovative energy systems, including fuel cells, solar cells, lithium batteries, and supercapacitors;
innovative nanomaterials such as 1D, 2D, and 3D nanomaterials;
new ceramic materials such as superconductors, electronic, diaelectronic, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, optoelectric and magnetic materials;
novel materials related to coal, carbon, fullerene, graphene and graphite;
other novel materials including perfumes, agricultural chemicals, photosensitive materials, displaying materials, fine ceramics and alloys; and
new characterization methods and application in fundamental and applied research on new materials.
A selection of 21 papers based on invited presentations at NMS-IX/FCFP-XXIII is published in this issue to demonstrate the quality and scope of the themes of this Conference. The publication of this selection also expresses our ever-lasting memory to Prof. Yingyan Jiang, who passed away on 3rd March, 2013 at his age of 88. He contributed a great deal to promote the international academic exchange between China and the outside, and the establishment of IUPAC Prof. Jiang Novel Materials Youth Prize in 2011.
