4th International Conference on Phosphonate Chemistry, Science and Technology, ICOPHOS-4 TOPICS:
The main thematic areas of ICOPHOS-4 include:
- Synthetic chemistry of phosphonates
- Polymeric phosphonates and phosphonate-grafted polymers
- Synthetic aspects of metal phosphonate coordination polymers and MOFs
- Advanced characterization techniques in metal phosphonate chemistry
- Gas absorption and storage
- Phosphonates and metal phosphonates in catalysis
- Proton conductivity and related energy applications of phosphonates and composites
- Phosphonates in water treatment (corrosion and scale inhibition)
- Water purification / Absorption of toxic substances
- Medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry of phosphonates
- Surface modification by phosphonic acids
The Conference thematic areas have been expanded (beyond metal phosphonate chemistry) to include topics on applied chemistry, industrial interests and energy and biomedical/pharmaceutical applications.
