Official Information:

The 'MC' conference series has provided a showcase for materials chemistry for almost two decades, and is the flagship event of the RSC's Materials Chemistry Division.

The five main themes will be distributed across four parallel sessions. There will be plenary lectures at the beginning and end of the conference, and at the beginning and end of each of the two middle days. Each symposium will have a keynote speaker followed by contributed speakers. Poster sessions will be held on the Monday evening and Tuesday and Wednesday lunchtimes.

Themes:

• Energy and sustainability
Topics: photovoltaics; batteries; supercapacitors; fuel cells; thermoelectric materials; hydrogen and gas storage; carbon capture; sustainable feedstocks.

• Advanced technologies & nanomaterials
Topics: carbons (graphene, nanotubes, fullerenes), organics, inorganics, hybrids and nanocomposites for electronics; photonics; magnetics; sensors; printing and coating; molecular separations.

• Life and health
Topics: biomaterials; biomimetic chemistry; biomineralization; tissue engineering; drug delivery; prosthetics; water treatment.

• Soft matter
Topics: polymers; polymer-inorganic hybrids; colloids; liquid crystals; supramolecular systems.

• Crystalline solids
Topics: metal-organic frameworks; zeolites; mesoporous solids; intermetallic compounds; transition metal oxides; nanocrystals.
MC10 will appeal to academic and industrial scientists working on the chemistry, physics and materials science of functional materials.
