New Orleans, LA
Undergraduate Research in Polymer Science
Sponsored by
Division of Polymer Chemistry
AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY
CALL FOR PAPERS!
We announce the 3rd annual symposium to recognize outstanding undergraduate
students in polymer science and engineering. We ask each department (e.g.,
chemistry, chemical engineering, or polymer/material science) to send their
best undergraduate students to speak or display a poster on his or her
original research in this special symposium. We would hope that the
student's advisor or the Department would be able to fund the student's
travel to the meeting, however additionally this year we will have travel
awards available to top candidates.
Objective
This meeting is intended to provide recognition to outstanding undergraduate
students in polymer science and engineering, to foster networking and
exposure, and to help develop the careers of future leaders in both academia
and industry.
Awards
The top ten preprints submitted will receive travel awards. Additionally,
the top two outstanding posters and oral presentations will receive monetary
awards.
If further funds become available, more travel awards will be distributed.
Documents Needed
Student should enter the abstract and the preprint of his or her
presentation to the OASys http://oasys.acs.org , under "Undergraduate
Research in Polymer Science" by October 28, 2007. Students may request
poster or oral presentation. PREPRINT is required.
