The aim of this symposium is the application of molecular modeling approaches to the prediction and understanding of polymer properties. Representative modeling areas are: - Conformation Properties, such as RIS, dynamic RIS, etc. - Thermodynamic Properties from simulations: calculations of Tg, phase diagrams and morphologies - Interfacial properties: surface tension, surface migration of additives and chains, compatibilizers, adhesion, etc. - Rheologica/Dynamic properties: viscosities, diffusion constants, compliance and other mechanical properties Of particular interest to us are modeling applications on systems of commercial application, and those which compare calculated results to experimental data. ACS abstract and preprint forms will be sent immediately to anyone who shows an interest in participating in this symposium. Deadline for submission of the abstract and preprint is Friday, November 7, 1997. If you have any questions, please contact either Kevin or myself directly at the numbers/addresses listed below.
