6th Annual UNESCO School & IUPAC Conference on Polymer
Properties
14-17 April 2003, Mpumalanga, South Africa
(UNESCO Introductory Course, 10-11 April 2003)
> Back to Calendar
This continuing series of schools and conferences, held annually, has
the following goals:
- to expose Africa to macromolecules and materials technology that
is applicable to their economies
- to create a virtual teaching encyclopedia CD-ROM for teaching in
developing countries, where books, journals, and teaching material
preparation are not available
The primary focus will be on the following:
- characterization of polyolefins and emulsions from newest synthetic
techniques (e.g., metallocenes and living-free radical)
- catalysts and polymer synthesis (including combinatorial chemistry)
hyphenated HPLC techniques, morphology, and ultrasonics
The scientific program will comprise plenary and invited lecturers,
as well as other oral and poster presentations. Delegates are invited
to submit contributions to the organizers.
