[Neutron] Dynamics of Soft Matter Workshop

[Ekkebus, Allen E.]

"Dynamics of Soft Matter" Workshop will be held December 4-6, 2008, in
Boston Massachusetts, as a satellite event of the MRS annual meeting.
Sessions on complex fluids, biology, polymers, and surfaces, are
planned.  Each talk will include an overview of the status of current
applications and techniques, the potential of using advanced neutron
techniques to provide new capabilities, and the developments required to
enable these goals to be met.  The web site at
http://neutrons.ornl.gov/conf/dsm2008/index.shtml has information on the
program, confirmed speakers, and registration.

 

The Workshop will utilize open discussion to summarize the science
presentations to maximize the integration of science and techniques to
develop the directions of research and future investments in a wide
variety of environments. Active feedback will enable a summary of future
actions to be discussed on the last day. Included in the Workshop
summary will be a description of the capabilities of the present and
planned reactor and accelerator-based sources along with development of
new techniques. The summary will also serve as an important document
when communicating with funding agencies and the public. 

 

Based on presentations and discussions during this Workshop, an outline
and writing assignments will be developed for a book in the Springer
Series on Neutron Scattering Techniques and Applications (see
http://www.springer.com/series/8141); it is expected that this book will
serve as a guideline for future international collaborations.  

 

We are soliciting contributed papers (15 minutes duration) and posters
related to the broad topics associated with the Dynamics of Soft Matter
workshop.  See the "Synopsis, goals and objectives
<http://neutrons.ornl.gov/conf/dsm2008/goals.shtml> " section of this
website for the focus of the meeting.  By September 15, 2008, please
send Al Ekkebus, ekkebusae at ornl.gov, the following information for each
contributed talk or poster:

*          Is the submission for a talk or poster? 

*          Name, institution, email address, and telephone contact
information. 

*          Names and affiliations of authors with presenter underlined. 

*          Title of talk or poster 

*          Summary abstract of 200-300 words 

You will be notified by October 1, 2008, of acceptance.  

 

Please contact Al Ekkebus, ekkebusae at ornl.gov, telephone 865-241-5644,
if you have any questions.
