08A22 Polymer Thin Films and Interfaces IV: Functional Polymer Systems
OverviewThis session is a forum for the application of polymer thin films involving conducting organics, microelectronics, and sensors. Submissions are invited concerning new materials and molecules, characterization (e.g. morphology, orientation, intrinsic electronic properties), simulation and modeling, novel device applications and particularly research efforts which establish ties between the above issues.
