SECOND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON POLYMER SURFACE CHARACTERIZATION to be held at the Grosvenor Resort Hotel, Orlando, FL; November 11-12, 2002 | |
| This is the second symposium in the series on this topic the first of which was held in Newark, NJ in the Fall of 2000.The study of polymer surfaces is important from both fundamental and applied points of view. The number of applications dependent on polymer surface properties are legion, and the areas where polymer surfaces are of critical importance and concern range from microelectronics to prosthetics. In the last decade or so, the availability of sophisticated surface analytical techniques, particularly ESCA, has been a boon in enhancing our knowledge of polymer surfaces. | The purpose of this symposium is to provide
a forum for discussion of the myriad surface
analytical techniques now available. Particular
focus will be on the dissemination of the latest
information available and the cross-pollination
of ideas. The technical program contains both
invited overviews and contributed original
research papers.
The invited speakers have been selected so as to represent widely differing disciplines and interests, and they hail from academic, governmental and industrial research laboratories. |
