From June 26 to July 1, the International Conference on the Science and Technology of Synthetic Metals 2016 (ICSM2016) was held by the School of Materials Science and Engineering, in Guangzhou Baiyun International Convention Center (GZBICC). More than 1000 researchers all over the world attended the conference, bringing the latest scientific developments. They are from groups of physicists, chemists, material scientists, and device engineers working on the experimental and theoretical aspects of the Chemistry and Physics of Synthetic Metals.
ICSM is the longest-running conference series in the field of conducting and semiconducting organic materials started in 1976. Now ICSM has become the premiere venue for discussion of the latest developments in the areas of organic electronics and photonics, from synthesis to characterization, computational modeling, device fabrication, and real-world applications.
