The 47th Symposium on Powder Technology was held together with the Ceremony for the 20th Anniversary of Establishment of Hosokawa Powder Technology Foundation at the Imperial Hotel Osaka, Japan on Tuesday, September 3, 2013. They were organized by Hosokawa Powder Technology Foundation with the sponsorship of Hosokawa Micron Corporation and the latter as one of special events of the Foundation. Over 200 people from the industries and academic organizations attended these events and had many discussions.
The theme of this symposium had been directly related with nanoparticles and nanotechnology since 2001 till last year for more than ten years but this time it has widened the range to the powder technology supporting the pioneering technology as well as the fundamentals in the fields of pharmaceuticals, ceramics, coal powder and composite materials as well as from the aspects of advanced simulation and powder processing machines without restricting to only the nanoparticles.
In the Ceremony for the 20th Anniversary of Hosokawa Foundation after the Symposium on Powder Technology, the Hosokawa Powder Technology Fellowship Supporting Award was presented by the Foundation president, Mr.Yoshio Hosokawa to six brilliant younger researchers in the field of powder technology. Following this presentation, Dr.Komiyama, the Chairman of Mitsubishi Research Institute and president emeritus of University of Tokyo, gave the special lecture on the revitalization for Japan.
