Call for Papers 2010

Letter from the Symposium Chairs

Dear Colleagues,

The ISCST Symposium provides a forum for researchers, with both academic and industrial perspectives on coating applications, to discuss the latest developments in the application and solidification of thin liquid films. The Symposium features contributions on both fundamental and applied research and development from many experts in coating process science and technology. This forum is designed to provide mechanisms for the exchange of information between academia and industry.

The 2010 Symposium will feature several special technical sessions in addition to the traditional sessions on coating and drying fundamentals. Prior to the symposium, the ISCST will be hosting two short courses: Science & Technology of Coating and Drying Processes, September 11-12, which has been totally revised with new presenters and materials; and, The Role of Modeling & Visualization in the Coating Process, September 11. Outlines for these courses can be obtained from the symposium chair
We hope that you will participate in this event. Please visit our website www.iscst.org for up-to-date information on the program.

Sincerely

Prof. Lorraine F. Francis and Dr. Blake Kolb

Who Should Attend

This Symposium is designed for coating engineers and scientists in both industry and academia. It will provide both practical and fundamental understanding of the coating process as well as networking opportunities. Past industrial participants have mainly come from the imaging, electronics, medical/life sciences, metal coil coating, paper, printing, information storage, automobile, chemical, computer, and textile industries. However, participants from other industries, in which coating is a key technology, will also benefit from this Symposium.

History of the Coating Science and
Technology Symposium and Past Events

The International Coating Science and Technology Symposium has emerged as the premier symposium in the area of liquid film coating and related process fundamentals and applications. The symposium provides a forum for discussion of recent advances in understanding the deposition, solidification, and performance of liquid films. It is the intent of this symposium to encourage contributions that report both fundamental and applied research, as well as provide a forum for information exchange between academic and industrial groups.
