Information
The Twelveth International Symposium on Biomimetic Materials Processing (BMMP-12) will
be held on January 24-27, 2012 at “Noyori Conference Hall”, Nagoya University,
Nagoya, Japan after BMMP-1 in 2001, BMMP-2 in 2002, BMMP-3 in 2003, BMMP-4
in 2004, BMMP-5 in 2005, BMMP-6 in 2006, BMMP-7 in 2007, BMMP-8 in 2008,
BMMP-9 in 2009,BMMP-10 in 2010,BMMP-11 in 2011.
Scope
Living organisms produce a wide variety of materials at room temperature
and atmospheric pressure. Moreover, each produced material plays a key
role in each function in biological systems. "Biomimetic materials
processing (BMMP)" is defined as the design and synthesis of new functional
materials by refining knowledge and understanding of related biological
products, structures, functions and processes. Hence BMMP is not a simple
imitation of biological materials processes, but is advanced materials
processing for bionics, electronics, photonics, mechanics and so on. BMMP
offers starting visions of materials processing for a sustainable future.
Generally speaking, unique features of materials processing in biological
systems are as follows; first, preferential proceeding of reactions with
time and space, and second, highly developed organization of fine structures
and forms. This biological materials processing is actually performed by
self-organization of molecular assemblies and molecular recognition at
interfacial reaction sites. Therefore it is necessary to introduce the
techniques of self-assembling and interfacial molecular recognition into
BMMP. In view of strong interests on the development of BMMP, the objective
of this symposium is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion
of recent advances in research, development, and applications of BMMP and
related matters including "Biomimetics", "Biomimics"
and "Biomimicry".

Venue
Nagoya with its population of more than two millions is the biggest city
in central Japan and is located at the center of Honshu Island (mainland)
in Japan, 350 km west from Tokyo (Capital), 200 km east from Osaka and
150 km east from Kyoto. It takes only 1.5 hour from Tokyo and 50 minutes
from Osaka by super express of Shinkansen. Nagoya is a modern and active
city providing the largest motorcar production in Japan. Nagoya is famous
for its beautiful Castle and Atsuta Shrine (one of three majorshrines in
Japan). This Conference may provide a good opportunity to discover the
old and modern Japanese culture. The Conference is held at Noyori Conference
Hall, Nagoya University near Nagoya University Station of Meijo subway
line.
