Japan-U. S. A. Joint Research on the Science and Technology of Advanced Materials

该项目的主要目标是促进美国和日本在先进材料科学技术方面的信息交流。在本财政年度(1990年4月至1991年3月)，两位年轻的研究人员，M·宫山教授和T·稻部博士访问了美国三个月，分别研究了新型陶瓷材料和有机导电材料。除了长期逗留，我们还于1990年12月17日在阿拉巴马大学举行了一次联合会议，主题是“先进功能材料”。五位日本科学家(猪口先生、荒木先生、松永元先生、杉原先生和丸山先生)和阿拉巴马大学的十多位美国科学家参加了这次会议。这次会议为交流各种功能材料的最新信息提供了一个很好的机会。

The main objectives of this project are to promote information exchanges between U. S. and Japan in the science and technology of advanced materials. In this fiscal year (April, 1990 - March, 1991), two young researchers, Prof. M. Miyayama and Dr. T. Inabe, visited U. S. for three months, and studied on new ceramic materials and organic conducting materials, respectively. Other than the long stay, we had a joint conference on "Materials of Advanced Functionality" at the university of Alabama on December 17, 1990. Five Japanese scientists (H. Inokuchi, K. Araki, Y. Matsunaga, T. Sugawara, and Y. Maruyama) and more than ten U. S. scientists of the University of Alabama participated in this conference. The conference provided with a good oppotunity to exchange up to date information on a varieties of functionality materials.
