640 Diffusion in Polymers

Thursday, November 12, 2015: 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM
251C (Salt Palace Convention Center)

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. ***Note to faculty candidates: please include a note to the session chair during submission to alert them to your status***
