Aim and Scope

We warmly invite you to the 5th International Symposium on Long-Period Stacking/Order and Mille-feuille Structures "LPSO/MFS 2022" to be held in Tokyo on 11 – 14 December 2022.

The LPSO/MFS 2022 serves to share rapid developments of layer-structured LPSO/MFS Mg alloys, which reveal remarkable strength through unique kink-type deformations. The symposium primary aims to provide a platform for those working in these materials to present their most recent research findings. Furthermore, the symposium will provide an opportunity to spark frontier ideas, which encourage extending the LPSO/MFS concept to various materials, including light alloys (Al, Ti, etc.), ceramics and even polymer materials.

The scientific scope of LPSO/MFS 2022 will cover all important aspects of a layer-structure design and/or kink-type deformations in high-strength structural materials, both for experiments and theory in the field of materials science, structural science, mechanics, computer simulations and mathematical modeling.

We heartily welcome you to Tokyo to participate in the Symposium along with your students, postdocs, colleagues, and others. Please mark the conference dates in your calendar NOW!
