Polymer Thin Films and Interfaces III

Thursday, November 20, 2008: 12:30 PM
Room 103-B (Pennsylvania Convention Center)

Description:
Polymer thin films are ubiquitous, being found in many fields of work, including biomedicine, microelectronics, optoelectronics, separations, and advanced composites. Yet new discoveries and development are continually being made in polymer thin films, in the areas of synthesis, characterization, structure and morphology, and material properties. This session will highlight experimental, theoretical and computational papers that look at the development, understanding and application of novel synthesis techniques and chemistries for polymer thin films.
