CAE in Polymer Processing

Gordon Research Conference

March 2 - 7, 2003
Chair
Vice Chair

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Conference on Polymer Processing 2003 will focus on relevant issues that investigate how far we are, or can get, in multi-scale modeling in polymer processing and whether new challenges could be found for polymer processing in "going function and going small". It is tried to cover as far as possible the total field of relevance, including polymer properties. Of course, this broadness brings limitations, but by selecting outstanding contributions in the areas of the chosen topics, we will compensate for that. The program of the conference is below.
