Polymer Physics comes of age! The 21st Polymer Physics Gordon Conference will take place at Salve Regina in Newport, RI the week of June 29th - July 4th, 2008. This conference, which began in 1969, has remained a key meeting in the area of polymer physics throughout its existence by ensuring that each program is filled with top speakers presenting their most interesting current results in areas both new and enduring. The 2008 conference will combine breadth and depth, with talks by experimentalists and theoreticians representing academia, national labs, and industry. Session topics are expected to include: structure and function of biopolymers, new problems involving the glass transition, polymer crystallization, simulation of equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties, ion-containing systems, unresolved issues in rheology and phase separation, and thin films and interfaces. A diverse group of national and international speakers and session chairs is being assembled and we anticipate a very lively gathering at Salve Regina this summer.
