Polycondensation '98 will address all aspects of step polymerization including reaction kinetics/mechanisms/synthesis/degradation of materials such as polyesters, polyamides, poly(arylene ethers), polyurethanes, polyimides, epoxies, phenolics, etc. While synthesis will be emphasized, discussion of related chemical structure-physical behavior-real/potential applications is encouraged. Further information regarding the organizational aspects of the meeting and program can be obtained from the chairs.
Poster Session: A poster session will be an integral part of the meeting and contributions are solicited. This will give attendees the opportunity to present their own work. Anyone wishing to present a poster should contact Martin E. Rogers, Poster Session Organizer. A short poster abstract should be submitted to Dr. Rogers by September 1, 1998.
