Abstract The 13th symposium of Indonesian Wood Research Society (IWoRS 2021) conference was held virtually because the pandemic situation in Indonesia had not improved until the day of the conference approached. This conference was held virtually instead of being postponed so that the conference which has been regularly scheduled every year will continue to run while at the same time encouraging the researchers, scientists, government, communities, and industry professionals and students that even though the situation is difficult, we can still work. The conference was held at September, 2nd 2021 by University of Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The conference start at 08.00 WITA (GMT +8) with a plenary session which is divided into 2 sessions and there are 3 keynote speakers for each session. The keynote speakers comprise of experts from 6 different countries, they are Dr. Agus Justinanto (Director General of Sustainable Forest Management, Indonesia), assc. Prof. Dr. David Auty (Northern Arizona University), Prof. Dr. Ryo Funada (President of the Japan Wood Research Society), Prof. Jegatheswaran Ratnasinga (University Putra Malaysia), Prof. Zhongwei Guan, Ph.D. (Executive Director of Advance Materials Research Center), Dr. Wen Shao Chang (The University of Sheffield). The conference then continued with a parallel session at 13:00 WITA (GMT +8). Parallel sessions consist of 6 classes with 3 sessions where each session contains 4-6 speakers. Each presenter has present their paper for 15 minutes which is then followed by a discussion session. List of Proceeding Organizing Committee, Symposium Committee are available in this pdf.

AbstractThe following article is based on the Outstanding Young Investigator Award presentation given by Peidong Yang of the University of California, Berkeley, on April 14, 2004, at the Materials Research Society Spring Meeting in San Francisco.Yang was cited for “innovative synthesis of a broad range of nanowires and nanowireheterostructure materials, and the discovery of optically induced lasing in individual nanowire devices.” One-dimensional nanostructures are of both fundamental and technological interest.They not only exhibit interesting electronic and optical properties associated with their low dimensionality and the quantum confinement effect, but they also represent critical components in potential nanoscale devices. In this article, the vapor–liquid–solid crystal growth mechanism will be briefly introduced for the general synthesis of nanowires of different compositions, sizes, and orientation. Unique properties, including light-emission and thermoelectricity, will be discussed. In addition to the recent extensive studies on “single-component” nanowires, of increasing importance is incorporating different interfaces and controlling doping profiles within individual single-crystalline nanowires. Epitaxial growth plays a significant role in fabricating such nanowire heterostructures. Recent research on superlattice nanowires and other nanostructures with horizontal junctions will be presented. The implication of these heterojunction nanowires in light-emission and energy conversion will be discussed. Ways to assemble these one-dimensional nanostructures will also be presented.

AbstractThe following article is an edited transcript based on the Von Hippel Award presentation given by Howard K. Birnbaum of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on December 4, 2002, at the Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston. The award citation states, “Through innovative use of a wide range of novel experimental tools, Howard K. Birnbaum has made seminal contributions to our understanding of intrinsic point defects, hydrogen in metals, and grain-boundary segregation, especially as these effects relate to mechanical properties. He has also stimulated, directed, and influenced interdisciplinary research throughout the materials community.” This presentation summarizes the major phenomenological observations associated with hydrogen effects on fracture and the viable mechanisms that can account for these observations. It is shown that there are three fracture mechanisms that are consistent with the experimental observations and that the operative fracture mechanism depends on the type of system and the conditions under which it is exposed to hydrogen in aggressive environments.

AbstractThe following article is an edited transcript based on the MRS Medalist presentation given by Ivan K.Schuller of the University of California, San Diego, on December 3, 2003, at the Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston.Schuller received the MRS Medal for “his innovative studies of exchange bias in magnetic heterostructures and nanostructures.” Magnetic nanostructures have received increasing attention in recent years, motivated by the interesting phenomena that are apparent when physical size becomes comparable with relevant magnetic length scales.In addition, a number of important potential applications in the sensors and storage industries have emerged. When magnetic nanostructures are in contact with dissimilar magnetic materials, and because their magnetic fields extend considerably outside the physical structure, they are very susceptible to interaction with the surrounding environment.A particularly interesting situation is a ferromagnetic nanostructure in contact with an anti-ferromagnetic substrate.In this “exchange-biased” configuration, a variety of unusual phenomena arise:The reversal mode of the ferromagnet changes considerably, the superparamagnetic transition temperature is affected, and there is a noticeable change in the microscopic spin configuration.A series of experiments will be described involving these phenomena in nanostructured ferromagnets prepared by electron-beam lithography and self-assembly.

Universities in Australia are expanding their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies programs to include Indigenous populations from around the globe. This is also the case for the Indigenous Studies Unit at the University of Wollongong (UOW). Although systems of nomenclature in Indigenous Studies seek to be respectful of difference, the politics of naming in the global context raises some complexities worthy of discussion. In this article, four scholars discuss the politics of naming in relation to teaching a joint Indigenous Studies subject at the UOW and Northern Arizona University.

AbstractThe following article is an edited transcript based on the MRS Medalist presentation given by C. Jeffrey Brinker (Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico) on December 3, 2003, at the Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston. Brinker received the Medal for “his pioneering application of principles of sol-gel chemistry to the self-assembly of functional nanoscale materials.” Nature combines hard and soft materials, often in hierarchical architectures, to obtain synergistic, optimized properties with proven, complex functionalities. Emulating natural designs in robust engineering materials using efficient processing approaches represents a fundamental challenge to materials chemists. This presentation reviews progress on understanding so-called evaporation-induced silica/surfactant self-assembly (EISA) as a simple, general means of preparing porous thin-film nanostructures. Such porous materials are of interest for membranes, low-dielectric-constant (low-k) insulators, and even ‘“nano-valves” that open and close in response to an external stimulus. EISA can also be used to simultaneously organize hydrophilic and hydrophobic precursors into hybrid nanocomposites that are optically or chemically polymerizable, patternable, or adjustable.
