Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Materials

Sonoma County Doubletree
Sonoma County, CA
November 14-17, 2001

Sponsored by
The Division of Polymer Chemistry, Inc.

 


Invitation & General Information

This interdisciplinary workshop is organized to facilitate the dissemination of new research on Organic/Inorganic Systems. The Workshop will be of interest to graduate students, university researchers, and especially, industrial researchers. It will offer invited lectures dealing with:

  • sol-gel processing of multifunctional hybrid materials that offer novel electroactive, composite, acoustic, insulating and mechanical properties
  • synthesis and processing of organometallic and inorganic polymers for optical, structural, biological and high temperature applications
  • synthesis and processing of macro-composite materials using novel processing techniques and inexpensive starting materials
  • commercial aspects of hybrid organic/inorganic polymers.
  • Chairs
