Events
The 11th Pacific Polymer Conference (PPC11) will be held in Cairns, Australia from 6-10 December 2009. The conference will feature a special symposium, organised by the Mawson Institute, which will address both the fundamentals and new applications of plasma polymerisation. This 2-day symposium will include a special workshop on the use of microplasmas and jets for plasma polymerisation.
Prof Karen Gleason (MIT) will present this year's Mawson Institute Lecture as the keynote address for this symposium. Other prominent international speakers who will present at the symposium include Prof. Richard Timmons (University of Texas), Dr Toby Jenkins (University of Bath), Prof. Gary Eden (University of Illinois), Dr Shigeru Kurosawa (AIST). Invited national speakers include Dr Krasimir Vasilev (University of South Australia), Dr Sally McArthur (Swinburne University) and Dr Thomas Gengenbach (CSIRO).
We invite you to join us for what promises to be a stimulating and challenging symposium. Register your interest now.
