Progress in Silicon and Organosilicon Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

The international symposium on silicon chemistry (ISOS) represents the highest level of international conferences regarding worldwide research and technical developments in the area of silicon and organosilicon chemistry. ISOS is held triennially at various places around the world. The 1^st ISOS was held in 1964, and ISOS has been successfully held 17 times. The 18^th ISOS (ISOS-XVIII) will be hosted by Shandong University in China. Meanwhile, the 6^th Asian Silicon Symposium (ASiS-6) will be jointly held with this symposium. ISOS XVIII JINAN 2017 and ASiS-6 will bring together scientists, industrial researchers, and students from around the globe in order to present and discuss the latest and most exciting aspects of silicon, organosilicon chemistry, and related materials. This symposium is also beneficial for expanding the application prospects of silicone technology, and promotes the advancements of science, technology, and industry.

The Special Issue will focus on progress in silicon and organosilicon chemistry. Welcome submission of unpublished original work on silicon, organosilicon chemistry and related materials. The manuscript submission dealine is set for 30 September 2017.
