Advanced Materials (EAS7)
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Seventh East Asia Symposium on Functional Dyes and Advanced Materials (EAS7), held in Osaka Prefecture University, Sakai, Osaka on 2-5 September 2015.
EAS7 will belong to series of biannual symposia previously organized in Japan (Osaka, 2003), Taipei, (2005), Korea (Ulsan, 2007), Japan (Osaka, 2009), P.R. China (Hangzhou, 2011), and Hsinchu, (2013).
New functional dyes and advanced materials continue to form the fundamental bases of many high-tech companies among countries in the East Asia region. Exchanging knowledge and information in this filed is very important for researchers and enterprises to develop new materials and technologies. We welcome all of you to EAS7.
