Invitation & General Information

This symposium is organized to facilitate the dissemination of new research on Organic/Inorganic Systems. It will be of interest to graduate students, university researchers, and especially, industrial researchers. It will offer invited lectures dealing with:

sol-gel processing of multifunctional hybrid materials that offer novel electroactive, composite, acoustic, insulating, and mechanical properties

synthesis and processing of organometallic and inorganic polymers for optical, structural, biological, and high temperature applications

synthesis and processing of macro-composite materials using novel processing techniques and inexpensive starting materials

commercial aspects of hybrid organic/inorganic polymers.

Abstracts

The POLY Executive Committee voted (at the Philadelphia ACS National Meeting in August 2012) to remove preprints as a submission requirement for both oral and poster presentations at the ACS National Meetings, starting with the New Orleans meeting in April, 2013.

However, a GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT (abstract plus a TOC-like figure) will be REQUIRED for all submissions. All of this may be done within the online submission system (PACS system) when the author is uploading their abstract.

Starting with the New Orleans 2013 meeting, POLY will be providing POLY ABSTRACTs instead of two page Polymer Preprints as the membership benefit.

To enter an abstract, please go to:

abstracts.acs.org

You will need to have an ACS-id (easy to register) and then you can enter an abstract. The graphics are added after the normal abstract is input.
