01C05 Interfacial Phenomena in Materials Processing / Composites
OverviewThis session focuses on the roles of interfacial phenomena in processing of dense disperse systems and composites. Materials of interest include but are not limited to particle suspensions, polymer-nanoparticle composites and sol-gel systems. We welcome both experimental and theoretical contributions dealing with interfacial properties of composite materials as well as relevant industrial and commercial applications.
