OBJECTIVES |
| |
- To engender fruitful interactions and to bring about productive collaborative activities in fundamental polymer chemistry and physics between the workers in academic, industrial and governmental research laboratories of US and Korea.
- To provide the opportunities for specific collaborative projects for the bilateral interactions.
- To explore a common ground for the core disciplines of polymer science underpinning ever widening applications of polymer science for new organic and composite materials.

SCOPE |
| |
This symposium will bring together leaders of both countries to highlight new and exciting areas of polymer chemistry and physics together with young workers to exp-lore how they will benefit by bilateral interactions. The scope includes, but not limited to, new polymers and composites including biopolymers of a rich variety of architectures including copolymers, terpolymers and multimers, structure in a wide range of length scales from nanometers to macroscopic lengths, dynamics in various time and length scales, polymers of various origins under different geometric confinements and other topics pertaining to fundamental core disciplines of polymer science that constitute the underpinnings of new and novel applications of polymer science.
