2012 synchrotron radiation in polymer science
mARCH 30th- APRIL 2nd | SAN FRANCISCO, CA
After the successful conference on Synchrotron Radiation in Polymer Science (SRPS) in Rolduc Abbey (the Netherlands), we are now looking forward to the next meeting in this topical series started in 1995 by H G Zachmann, one of the pioneers of the use of synchrotron radiation techniques in polymer science. Earlier meetings were held in Hamburg (1995), Sheffield (2002), Kyoto (2006), and Rolduc (2009).
In March of 2012 the Synchrotron Radiation in Polymer Science V conference will be organized in a joint effort by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The conference will take place in the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in the heart of beautiful San Francisco. The program will consist of invited and contributed lectures divided in sessions on the use of synchrotron in Ordering Phenomena, Spectroscopy, Microscopy, and Energy applications in polymer sciences. Poster contributions and presentations are more than welcome and will be highlighted during the poster sessions. Visits to both SSRL/LCLS as well as to the ALS will be organized.
We are looking forward to seeing you in the vibrant city by the Bay in March 2012.
