Polymer Architecture -
From Structure to Functional Control
(Klaus Müllen - Béla
Iván) Keynote
Lecture: Klaus Müllen (Mainz, D): "Organic Functional
Nanoparticles" Invited
Lectures by Krzysztof Matyjaszewski (Pittsburgh, USA); Béla Iván (Budapest,
H); Shiro Kobayashi (Kyoto, J); Bert Meijer (Eindhoven, NL); Martin Möller
(Aachen, D). Special Lectures will be also
presented on selected topics; list of invited speakers (not complete yet):
David Haddleton (Warwick, GB); Yves Gnanou (Bordeaux, F); Nikos
Hadjichristidis (Athen, GR); Rolf Mülhaupt (Freiburg, D), Majda Zigon
(Ljubljana, SL) Polymer synthesis must meet strict requirements such as
structural perfection (even of high molecular weights), variation of
molecular topology and dimensionality or selective chemical
functionalisation. This needs sophisticated methods for both, synthetic and
bio-inspired target structures and often implies metal-catalysis and
reactions in confining geometries. The next, equally important, step toward
designed materials’ properties is processing, i.e. creating a well-defined
macroscopic state of matter, which often possesses supramolecular order at
different length scales. This architectural control leads to superior
performance of polymers in complex functional systems for which examples from
chemistry, biology and physics will be presented. |

ABSTRACTS
This Symposium will include a keynote lecture, invited lectures, oral
and poster presentations. Both Oral and Poster Sessions are a very
important and integral part of the Symposium and the Congress, and ample space
and time will be given for poster presentations. Participants are cordially
invited to submit Abstracts to this Symposium (Special Topics Symposium M). The Symposium Chairs will evaluate the
submissions and decide on acceptance for oral communications and/or poster
presentations. After evaluation and approval by the Chairs, the authors will be
notified of the detailed arrangements.
Abstracts
may only be submitted electronically through the Congress website via the
on-line Abstract submission system. Please, do not
submit multiple copies of the same Abstract. Abstracts sent by e-mail, mail or
fax will not be accepted. In case of difficulties please contact the Symposium
or Congress Secretariat.
Each presenting author is entitled to submit
only one Abstract but may also be co-author of Abstracts submitted by other
presenting authors. The content of the Abstract is solely the responsibility of
the author(s). The presenting author is required to ensure that all co-authors
are aware of the content of the Abstract before submission. Information about
the acceptance of the Abstract will be sent to the submitting author by e-mail
in April.
An Abstract Book will be distributed in hard
copy, on CD and the Abstracts will also be available from the Congress web
site.
Abstracts must be written in English. The
abstract is laid out as follows: title, name(s) of the author(s), their
affiliations, keynotes and body text including the references in the
corresponding boxes. The abstract textbox may only contain the body text of the
abstract and eventual references. Please leave an empty row between the body
text and references. The abstract may contain only ascii characters. Figures
and special characters like Greek letters, subscripts or superscripts cannot be
included. The maximum length of the body text with references is 1200
characters (using the word count tool of MS Word). Depending on the internet
browser you use for the submission the counter placed to the lower left corner
of the abstract textbox may show slightly different values. Abstracts that are
too long will not be accepted.
PLEASE
PREPARE AND SEND YOUR ABSTRACT
ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION AT
