New Developments in Coatings Technology Symposium

CALL FOR PAPERS

ACS Fall National Meeting, POLY, PMSE Divisions and FSCT

Philadelphia, PA. August 22-26, 2004

This symposium will cover a wide range of coating related topics. The theme of this conference will be to establish the current state-of-the-art work in synthetic polymer chemistry for coatings research. The conference will feature invited speakers from academia, government and industry which will include such diverse topics as synthesis of polymers for coatings, inorganic/organic composite coatings, nanocomposites, applications of polymer coatings (bioresistant, anticorrosion, etc.), mechanisms of coating degradation, testing and performance of coatings, formulations (water-borne, powder, etc.), specialty coatings, industrial coatings and environmental issues. A tutorial session and poster session will be included in the program.

The POLY Division requires an abstract and preprint. 

The submission date is April 20, 2004.
