Continuing on the tradition set by the four previous symposia of the MAM-series, this symposium is being organized to enable scientists and engineers in diverse disciplines of basic and applied science and technology to reveal and share their recent results in macromolecular and supramolecular architectures and materials as well as other related disciplines and assess their implications to human living conditions.

Since the last MAM symposium, the MAM-08 held in Germany there have been major developments in the areas named above with potentially useful applications in many areas related more or less to human living conditions such as to water purification, energy and gas storage, sensors, mechanical, optical and other characteristics. This symposium offers an opportunity for participants to explore and evaluate such developments, reveal best practices, improve collaborations among researchers in these areas, and to chart out future scientific and technological research directions.

The scientific program will cover key developments in the syntheses, structural elucidation, behavior, and potential applications of new compounds, materials, and supramolecular or macro-molecular aggregates.

Scientists working in these broad and related areas are encouraged to participate and make presentations at MAM-10.

Symposium Format

The Symposium will be opened by one of the Caribbean Prime Ministers who will also give the Keynote address. The scientific program will feature plenary presentations, invited talks and other contributions. There will be concurrent sessions as well to accommodate the large number of themes.
