FOURTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON
POLYMER SURFACE MODIFICATION
June 9-11, 2003 GROSVENOR RESORT HOTEL, ORLANDO, FL |
| This symposium continues the tradition set by the first in the series entitled: "Polymer Surface Modification: Relevance to Adhesion" which was held in Las Vegas, NV, 1993. Successive symposia in the series were held in Newark, NJ in 1999 and 2001. As with its predecessors, this symposium will be concerned with the technological areas where surface modification is a key technology which allows for the processing and manufacture of products which would otherwise be unobtainable. Proper adhesion characteristics are vital to the success of any practical implementation of polymer materials. Though polymers are generally not very adherent, proper surface modification can result in greatly improved adhesion without altering bulk properties. This symposium is organized to bring together scientists, technologists and engineers interested in all aspects of polymer surface modification, to review and assess the current state of knowledge, to provide a forum for exchange and cross-fertilization of ideas and to define problem areas which need intensified efforts. Note, the address given is for the presenting author only. | |
