Organic-inorganic hybrids are generated by some chemical interactions between organic and inorganic substances, including the composition of super-molecular structure. And organic-inorganic hybrid polymers are most attractive materials for new advanced applications such as electronics, optoelectronics, bio-related materials, environmental safeguards, etc. As these properties are greatly influenced by the nano structures, their molecular design and synthetic method have been investigated energetically. In this symposium, the wide variety of organic-inorganic hybrid polymers for new applications at next generation will be accepted and discussed the relationship of functions and nano structures from the viewpoint of macromolecular. Prof. Richard Laine (Michigan University, USA) and Prof. Yoshiki Chujo (Kyoto University, Japan) are invited to talk their latest research works on the organic-inorganic hybrid polymers.
