Session: Diffusion in Polymers I (2009 Annual Meeting)

Friday, November 13, 2009: 8:30 AM

Pres. Boardroom B (Gaylord Opryland Hotel)

Description:

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.
