SCOPE

Technological advances in many scientific areas lead to investigation, understanding and exploiting of structures of continually smaller dimensions. Due to a large variety of building blocks, chemical reactions and architectures, polymers represent a particularly rich field where self-organization can be exploited to obtain materials with new properties. The scope of this meeting is to bring together scientists working in the area of synthetic polymers and biopolymers and interested in self-organization.

TOPICS

• chemical routes for self-organization
• physics of self-organization
• self-organized surfaces and interfaces
• self-organization in biology
• polymer complexes, ion-containing polymers and membranes

MAIN LECTURES

The following distinguished scientists have already agreed to present main lectures:

• S.P. Armes (The University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK)
• K.E. Geckeler (Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Gwangju, South Korea)
• Y. Gnanou (ENSCPB-CNRS, Université Bordeaux-1, France)
• O. Ikkala (Helsinki University of Technology, Espoo, Finland)
• T.P. Lodge (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA)

• M. Tirrell (University of California, Santa Barbara, USA)
• U.S. Schubert (Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, Netherlands)
• U. Wiesner (Cornell University, Ithaca, USA)

SPECIAL LECTURES About 20 special lectures (20 min each, additional 5 min for discussion) are planned to be presented at the Microsymposium. Those participants who wish to present an oral lecture should submit a brief summary with the preliminary registration to the PMM Secretariat before December 31, 2005. In January 2006, the authors will be notified whether their contribution have been accepted for oral presentation.

PUBLICATION Summaries of lectures and poster communications will appear in the Programme Booklet. Full text of selected papers will be published in a special issue of a renowned international journal.
