Preface
Interest in silicon-based materials has established an international community whose roots initially dug in organic and silicon chemistry, polymer and sol-gel chemistry, and material science. This fact led Prof. Interrante and Prof. Kawakami to launch a series of workshops that began in Tatsunokuchi, Japan, in 1999 as a satellite workshop to the XIIth International Symposium on Organosilicon Chemistry in Sendai. The first workshop was attended by over 100 participants from Asia, Europe, and the USA and its success emphasized the perceived need for a continuing forum for organosilicon polymer research; a decision was then taken to maintain these workshops on a bi-annual basis. The second and third workshops were held in Canterbury, UK, in 2001, and Troy, USA, in 2003, both workshops achieved a similarly strong international participation. The fifth meeting was held in France. The city of Montpellier was chosen as organosilicon chemistry plays an important role in the academic field of the University and Ecole de Chimie (The XI International Symposium on Organosilicon Chemistry was organized in Montpellier in 1996, the III Sol-Gel Symposium was organized in Montpellier in 1985 and the XIV edition was also held in September 2007, in the same city). The next ISPO 08 was held in Busan, Korea, 6–8 June 2008, just after the 15th International Symposium on Organosilicon Chemistry. Those international workshops are designed to highlight advanced research and technological innovations by bringing together scientists with common interests in macromolecular organosilicon compounds and systems. Indeed, silicon-containing materials and polymers are used all over the world in industry, domestic products and high technology applications. Among them, silicones are certainly th
