2010 Annual Meeting

Session: Nanoscale Structure in Polymers III

We invite papers generally focused on (1) the fabrication and processing of polymer nanocomposites, (2) theoretical developments leading to the explanation of observed phenomena, and (3) applications of polymer nanocomposites. Papers highlighting novel phenomena, new materials and new theories are welcome.
