From modest beginnings in the mid-1980s, the field of Microwave Chemistry has grown and broadened into areas embracing organic/inorganic synthesis, combinatorial chemistry, catalysis and Green Chemistry. The field has continued to experience exponential growth, since 1995, when the first session on Microwave Chemistry was organized by Prof. R. Gedye and Prof.R. J. Giguere at Pacifichem. The second session on Microwave Chemistry called "Microwave Induced Chemistry for Green and Sustainable Future" was organized by Prof. M. Sato( Corresponding Co-organizer) at Pacifichem 2005. At Pacifichem 2010, we propose the third session on Microwave Chemistry called "Innovative Green Chemistry with Microwave Energy" to be organized by Prof. T. Matsumura( Corresponding Co-organizer), Dr. Varma , Dr. Tran, Prof. S. Yanagida and Dr. S. Horikoshi. This session is focusing on: a) the greener aspects of Microwave Chemistry in the synthesis of organic molecules of pharmaceutical interests, b) the greener approaches to assembly of nanomaterials/nanocomposites, new functional materials, recycling process and novel techniques of microwave energy applicator design and supply. These are the emerging areas of focused interest and this session will be very useful in promoting future research and sustainable developments.
