Since the 1st Gel Symposium held in 1989, the Gel Symposium has been held non-periodically in order to stimulate worldwide communication about Gel Science. The 5th Gel Symposium aims to give an overview of the major advances in polymer gels in order to design novel types of gels and to inspire new concepts, by international and interdisciplinary exchange of ideas among different scientific communities. Polymer gels have been closely related to our life for thousands of years. However, it has passed only a few decades since polymer gels have been spotlighted from scientific point of view. Though remarkable scientific and technological advancement in gel science has been made in recent years, polymer gels remain as intriguing and promising materials. It is well known that polymer gels are widely applied to daily life as well as to industry, such as super- absorbent, ion-exchange resins, water retainers, drug delivery systems. However, the fundamental problems in chemistry and physics of polymer gels, namely, precise control of gels architecture, entanglements, and heterogeneities, have not been fully elucidated. Today, nano-fabrication of gels is highly demanded for µTAS (Lab-on-a-Chip) manufacturing and biological application. It is quite meaningful to hold this symposium at the one of the largest centers of solid state physics in Japan, i.e., the Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP), as it will trigger an inter- disciplinary exchange of ideas between soft matter and hard matter sciences. The Research Group on Polymer Gels has a privilege to serve you at the new campus of The University of Tokyo, Kashiwa Campus.
