Applications & Theory)
Task Group
Chairman: Witold
Brostow
Remark: support from COCI
Completion Date: 2003
Objective:
Provide knowledge on techniques of Polymer Characterization, particularly
so for participants from third world countries. At the same time
prepare the participants for understanding lectures and presentations
during the following 11th Annual POLYCHAR World Forum on Polymer
Applications & Theory. (POLYCHAR is derived from Polymer Characterization)
