Abstract & Preprint due October 15, 2012

 

 

We are currently soliciting contributed papers on HYBRID MATERIALS for a symposium at the 245th ACS National Meeting & Exposition in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, April 7-11th, 2013. Given the many recent advances in Hybrid Materials, we believe that the this symposium will be very timely. the symposium is sponsored by both the POLY and PMSE divisions of the ACS.

 

We are aiming at assembling participants from academia, government, and industry from around the world, on:

 

• Sol-gel processing of multifunctional hybrid materials that offer novel electroactive, composite, acoustic, insulating and mechanical properties.
• Synthesis and processing of organometallic and inorganic polymers for optical, structural, biological and high temperature applications.
• Synthesis and processing of macro-composite materials using novel processing techniques and inexpensive starting materials.
• Commercial aspects of hybrid organic/inorganic polymers.

Participants from industry, government, and academia are cordially invited to participate in the wealth of presentations for the advancement of this thriving field.
