Scope:

Recent advances in analytical technologies have brought about not only new facts and methods, but also novel points of view in evaluating materials and environmental technologies. Since electrical and electronic equipment should be compliant to WEEE and RoHS directive, rapid and effective analytical methods or evaluation systems for the materials and devices are used. Hyphenated and hybrid analytical methods are considered efficient and powerful techniques in evaluating complicated materials and systems. Novel methods and techniques for analyzing nano-systems are also in demand. Information on chemical composition is requisite in considering the life cycle of products and the disposal of hazardous chemicals.

The symposium welcomes reports and discussions on the analytical and assessment techniques and methods for the advancement of material technologies and environmental chemistry.

Topics:

• Analytical chemistry and instrumentation
• Material characterization
• Green chemistry or environmental chemistry and engineering
• Carbon neutral materials
• Biomass
• Energy conversion and evaluation
• Hazardous chemicals
• Environmental assessment
• Life cycle assessment
• Database
