Due to the pandemic impact, ICAFM 2020 that was originally planned to be held in Hawaii, United States has been held in conjunction with ICACM 2020 via online platform during August 26-28, 2020 successfully. In past four years, ICAFM has been successfully held in different regions (Anchorage, Alaska; Los Angeles; San Francisco & Salt Lake City) of the United States. ICAFM had strong academic atmosphere all the way and participants were active. 

Now, on behalf of ICAFM 2021 conference committee, I'm glad to announce that 2021 The 6th International Conference on Advanced Functional Materials (ICAFM 2021) will be held in Hosei University, Tokyo, Japan during August 25-27, 2021.

ICAFM 2021 aimed at promoting research worldwide  and publishes basic and advanced research work from all branches of Physics, Applied Surface Sciences, Crystal growth, High energy density physics, Materials Chemistry and Physics with its functions, Solid state sciences, Solid state electronics, Solid state communications, Non linear Physics, Surface coatings & technology, Progress in Surface Sciences,  Solar cells applications, Sensors applications, Thin solid films, Thin film applications, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Nanoscience, Nanotechnology, Material Science and all general sciences by IBU Impressions.

And it aims at being an ideal platform for scholars to share views and experiences in Advanced Functional Materials and related areas. 

We welcomes you submit your paper/abstract to our ICAFM 2021 and present it. Hope all of you can communicate thoughts face to face and have a good harvest during the conference. We look forward to meeting all of you face-to-face next year in Tokyo, Japan!
