World Forum on Advanced Materials
World Forum on Advanced Materials
20–24 April 2009, Rouen, France
The World Forum on Advanced Materials will be held 20–24 April 2009 at the University of Rouen, France. It will be preceded by a one-day 17th Course on Polymer Characterization on April 20.
The conference is intended for researchers, professors, students, and engineers involved in synthesis, characterization, property determination, processing, and manufacturing of novel materials, including thermoplastics, thermosets, alloys, heterogeneous and molecular composites, biomaterials, hybrids, and nanohybrids. The focus of the conference will be balanced among experiments, computer simulations, theory, and model development. The members of the Scientific Committee represent 53 countries. See <www.unt.edu/POLYCHAR>.
Following are the subject matter areas that have been chosen:
predictive methods
synthesis
nanomaterials and smart materials
mechanical properties and performance
dielectric and electrical properties
surfaces, interfaces, and tribology
rheology, solutions, and processing
biomaterials and tissue engineering
characterization and structure-property relationships
natural and biodegradable materials and
recycling
A number of awards will be presented during POLYCHAR 17:
Paul J. Flory Polymer Research Prize
International Materials Science Prize
Bruce Hartmann Award for a Young Scientist and the Juergen Springer Award for a Young Scientist (both for non-students up to the age of 32)
Carl Klason Prize for the Best Student Paper
prizes for young investigators and students for outstanding presentations in both oral and poster formats
Rouen is known as the city of one hundred spires, Rouen is in north-west France. It is the capital of the Upper Normandy region and the Seine-Maritime department. The city is bisected by the Seine and three of its small tributaries, Aubette, Robec, and Cailly. There are about 800 000 inhabitants (called Rouennais) in the metropolitan area. Rich in history (Joanne d’Arc), this is one of the few French cities to be decorated with the Legion of Honor. Rouen is an archdiocese seat and the archbishop is the Primate of Normandy. Claude Monet has painted the Rouen Cathedral more times than any other object.
