#384 - Diffusion in Polymers I (08A05)
Papers in the general area of diffusion in polymers are sought. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, gas, vapor and liquid diffusion in polymers; multicomponent diffusion in polymers; membrane-based separations; molecular simulations, continuum modeling, and theory of diffusion in polymers; novel experimental techniques for measuring diffusion phenomena; physics of macromolecular dynamics.
