Workshop
Young Researchers´School: Tutorial on Scientific Writing and the Editorial Process
Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Valtencir Zucolotto, IFSC / USP
The " Young Researchers´School " aims to develop / improve / strengthen the
skills necessary for researchers to do High Impact science, upon knowing the state of
the art in specific areas. The School will be offered to under and Graduate students
and post-docs.
It is hoped that researchers can optimize their potential in doing research, with regard to:
1) Development of national and international research projects with bold objectives,
and implementation of high-level scientific research. Such an approach is essential to
promote significant advances at the frontier of knowledge of each area.
2) Production of international scientific articles, through appropriate and efficient
writing.
As a result, we expect to collaborate with the formation of high-level
researchers, trained to recognize and act on the
state-of-the-art in their fields, in a way
to generate relevant knowledge and innovation for society.

Symposium P
Wet-chemical preparation and applications of metal oxides
Scope of the Symposium
The synthesis of inorganic materials is a very important area of research and play a key role in many fields?ceramics, catalysts, medicines, food, etc. The preparation method is the base for improving knowledge about the composition, morphology and dimensions scale of the materials, consequently this is crucial for the observed properties. In the last years, much effort has been taken to increase the quality and functionality of different metal oxides, since in the form of thick films or powder properly. The morphology and scale of active materials are essential and it must be the starting point for the control of the functional parameters of the final device. The desire to approach certain properties of these materials has naturally prompted research in the design and synthesis of metal oxides, consisting of both conventional and new ones, which display potential utility in applications, including pigments, catalytic conversions, photocatalysis, chemical sensors, photovoltaics or new emerging areas. In this context, the methods of preparation of these materials, have become the object of study of the scientific community because they play an important role in the obtained properties, which has favored the numerous applications . In this symposium, researchers are invited to present summaries reporting the influence of synthesis on the structural and morphological properties of materials, as well as their applications.
Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas
- ? Materials with differentiated morphologies by chemical synthesis ? Synthesis of core-shell systems ? Thin films obtained by chemical solution deposition ? Oxides obtained from wet chemical methods ? Properties and applications of metal oxides
