Materials Horizons would like to give a hearty congratulations to PhD student Mr. Yasuyuki Irie for his poster titled: ‘Single component self-standing films based on carbazole terminated polyhedral octasilicate-core dendrimers’ which was awarded a prize at the US-Japan Workshop on Advances in Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Materials 2015 which took place in Himeji, Japan from the 18th – 22nd May 2015.
The purpose of the workshop was to showcase new research and application directions in the area of organic/inorganic hybrids, inorganic polymers, and nanocomposite materials and provide an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of new and unpublished results in the area as well as providing a special opportunity to exchange ideas and information between leading US and Japanese researchers in the field.
