Call for Papers!

The School of Polymers and High Performance Materials at The University of Southern Mississippi and the ACS POLY Division invites all interested persons to submit abstracts for presentation at the 1st ANNUAL POLYMER COMPOSITE MATRIX SCIENCE WORKSHOP.

The Polymer Composite Matrix Science workshop will bring together researchers from industrial, academic and government laboratories to discuss the state-of-the-art in polymer matrix science for aerospace and marine composite applications. The purpose of this workshop is to address key challenges and advances in the area of polymer composites, with specific emphasis on the polymer matrix and interface optimization.  Abstracts will be considered for oral or poster presentations.

Companies are also invited to present in the Technology Showcase, February 9-12, being held in conjunction with the weeklong Waterborne Program. Emerging technologies, new materials, innovative services, and state of the art equipment will be.
