LeNet International Symposium “Low Entropy Soft Matter” was held from February 12 to 14, 2025, at Hokkaido University Conference Hall.
JSPS international leading research project “Design of Low Entropy Polymer Network Materials for Unique Functions”, which is a collaborative project between Japan, U.S., and EU teams, focuses on low entropy polymer networks (LeNet) that realize unique mechanical properties and functions derived from their low-entropy structures.
The symposium included progress reports by the project participants and the invited lectures by distinguished polymer researchers. 20 national and international researchers gave lectures, with a total of 172 participants.
During the poster session on the second day, young researchers, including students, presented their own research. The interest, potential, and future of low-entropy polymer networks from various aspects were discussed through the symposium.
