Call for Papers & First Announcement
Dear Colleagues,
The ISCST Symposium provides aforum for scientists and engineersfrom around the world to present anddiscuss the latest developments anddiscoveries in the application andsolidification of thin liquid films. The
Symposium features contributions
from experts in both academia andindustry on topics ranging fromfundamental processing science tomore
appliedresearchanddevelopment.
The Symposiumincludes a broad range of coatingprocess science and technology, andimpacts many industries. The formatof the symposium is designed tofacilitate learning, exchange of
information and networking acrossindustrial sectors and between
academia and industry.
The 2016 Symposium will be held in Pittsburgh from September 18th to the 21st and will feature aplenary session on Micro-/Nano-Replication technology for the creation of patterned surfaces forprinted electronics, information storage, light management films and more. The technical sessions will
include coating and drying/curing fundamentals, microstructure development, coating applications,wetting and more.
The Symposium also features tabletop exhibits from vendors offering products or services of interestfor the coating industry, including equipment suppliers, coating services, coating and drying modelingsoftware and instrumentation.
We hope that you will join us for this exciting and informative event. Please visit our website at iscst.org
