THIRD INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON SILANES AND OTHER COUPLING AGENTS To be held June 18-19, 2001 at the Robert Treat Hotel; Newark, NJ |
| This symposium continues the tradition set by the first symposium in this series:"Silanes and Other Coupling Agents" which was hosted in 1991 by the Dow Corning Corporation in honor of Dr. Edwin P. Plueddemann. As with its predecessor, this symposium will be concerned with the technological areas where the use of surface primers such as silanes is critical to the success of coating technology. The use of silanes as coupling agents for polyimide coatings and in glass fiber composites are just two applications where the use of silanes has been an enabling factor in the success of particular manufactured products. Quite surprisingly, silanes have also found a role in biotechnology as specific coupling agents for bonding polynucleotides to the so-called "gene chips". This symposium is organized to bring together scientists, technologists and engineers interested in all aspects of coupling agent technology, to review and assess the current state of knowledge, to provide a forum for exchange and cross-fertilization of ideas and to define problem areas which need intensified efforts. |
