ISCST SYMPOSIUM
September 9 to 13
Grand Hyatt, Denver, Colorado
The 2006 International Symposium is sponsored by the
International Society for Coating Science and Technology
(ISCST) and cosponsored by the American Institute of
Chemical Engineers (AIChE); Association of Industrial
Metalizers, Coaters and Laminators (AIMCAL); and the
Industrial Partnership for Research in Interfacial Engineering (I
Prime), University of Minnesota. This will be the twelfth in the
continuing biannual symposia on coating science and
technology. This Symposium, with contributions by experts from
Europe, Asia, and the Americas, is the premier forum for liquid
film coating and related process phenomena. The meeting
provides a platform for discussing recent advances in the
processes of applying and solidifying thin liquid coatings. Both
fundamental and applied papers are encouraged; however,
preference will be given to papers that appear to be of interest
to the broadest audience.
Please let us know if you or your company would be interested
in giving a presentation at any of these events. Sponsorship
opportunities are also available. You are welcome to contact
