Produktbeschreibung

This book summarizes the state ofthe art research presented at the Fourth International Conference on Frontiers of Polymersand Advanced Materialsheld in Cairo, Egypt in January 4-9, 1997. This conference follows the successful conferences held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1995, in Jakarta, Indonesia in 1993 andin New Delhi, India in 1991. These conferences focussed on the most recent and important advances in a wide range of carefully chosen subject areas dealing with advanced materials, their science and technology and new business opportunities resulting from recent technological advances. As its predecessors, the conference held in Cairo was truly international with strong participation of 488 deiegales representing 37 countries from the USA and Egypt, as weil as Europe, South East Asia, Japan, South Africa and the Middle East. The conference was organized by the Egyptian Academy of Scientific Research and Technology, The Arab Society ofMaterials Science and the State University ofNew Y ork at Butfalo. The stated goals ofthe conference were: - To highlight advances and new. findings in the general area of polymers and advanced materials. - - T o foster global collaboration between the USA, Egypt and other nations in the general field of polymers and advanced materials. - To promote the development of scientific ilifrastructure in this field among the different participating countries, especially in the Middle East. - To create a basisforfuture long-term scientific exchanges between the USA and Egypt, and/or other countries.
