CALL FOR PAPERS THIRD INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ACID-BASE INTERACTIONS: RELEVANCE TO ADHESION To be held June 13-15, 2001 at the Robert Treat Hotel; Newark, NJ | |
This symposium is the third in a series which began with the first symposium held in June 1990 in honor of the
renowned chemist Prof. F. M. Fowkes. There has been a considerable interest in the concept of Acid-Base
interactions within the last 25 years or so due to the highly fundamental nature of this topic which touches on nearly
all aspects of pure and applied chemistry. On the theoretical side, a number of investigators are employing the
latest and most powerful methods of quantum mechanics to understand these interactions. On the practical side,
applications abound ranging from adhesion of organic coatings to the proper formulation of pharmaceuticals. This
symposium is organized to bring together scientists, technologists and engineers interested in all aspects of
Acid-Base interactions, 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.
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. This meeting is planned to be a truly international event both in geographic coverage as well as in spirit. The technical program will contain both invited overviews and contributed original research papers. It is planned to chronicle the transactions in a hard-bound volume of archival quality (to match or exceed the standards of the journal literature) which will serve as a reference work for future generations of investigators. | |
Among the topics to be covered are:
- inorganic materials - polymeric materials
- coatings - composites/fabrics - magnetic inks - polymer fillers |
This symposium is being organized by MST Conferences
under the direction of Dr. K. L. Mittal, Editor, Journal of
Adhesion Science and Technology. A proceedings volume
is planned for this symposium and further details will be
provided in due course. Please notify the conference
chairman of your intentions to present a paper as early as
possible. An abstract of about 200 words should be sent
by January 15, 2001 to the conference chairman by any
of the following methods:
