INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON POLYMER
SURFACE CHARACTERIZATION
OCTOBER 9-10, 2000 ROBERT TREAT HOTEL NEWARK, NJ |
| 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 various ramifications of the myriad surface analytical techniques now available. Primary focus is on the dissemination of the latest information available and the cross-pollination of ideas. Additionally, this symposium is organized to serve as a venue for the mutual and fruitful interaction among participants for the furthering of scientific, professional and practical interests. | |
