Invitation. Fluorine containing polymer science and technology is nearly 70 years old and fluoropolymer markets maintain a growth rate above the US GDP. In addition to perfluoropolymers, partially fluorinated polymers will continue to impact a wide range of technologies as better control of their unique optical, electronic, processing, extreme environment stability, and surface properties are achieved. ÊThis symposium offers a companion forum to the biannual Fluoropolymer workshop series sponsored by the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry. Scientists, engineers, and technologists interested in the latest developments and advances in this diverse field are invited to contribute oral and poster presentations.

 

Topics include but not limited to:

Fundamental and advanced technology tutorials
Polymer and copolymer syntheses and mechanisms
Structure / property relationships
Coatings and surfaces Biology and biomedical applications
Membranes and energy conversion applications
Photonic and electronic applications
Industrial elastomers and plastics
Semi-fluorinated polymers for emerging applications

Abstracts and POLY preprints must be submitted online through ACS OASys at: http://www.oasys.acs.org.Ê Approved templates for preprints may be downloaded at http://uweb.txstate.edu/science/polymerpreprints//

 

We also extend a special invitation to the participants of the:
19th International Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry
