Call for Abstracts: Polymer Chemistry Conference 2012

Polymers: From Biomedical Applications to Energy

Monday November 12 2012 - Friday November 16 2012 Xcaret, Mexico

Talk abstract deadline: Tuesday June 26 2012
Poster abstract deadline: Wednesday September 12 2012

The continued application of synthetic chemistry to the development of new polymer-based materials has given polymer chemistry a critical role in the development of new materials across a broad range of applications that impact our lives, most recently in biomedical and energy-related areas. Synthetic methodologies that allow the shaping of polymeric materials to function as biomaterials in applications including tissue engineering, imaging, and the targeted delivery of drugs and biological materials will be presented. We will showcase creative designs and synthetic strategies for these multifunctional polymeric systems and composite materials. The multifaceted properties of polymers allow for the increasing advancement of polymers in energy-related applications. The optimization of polymer-based organic photovoltaic and hybrid materials for harvesting and storing solar energy, as well as the development of new semiconducting polymers will be topics of particular interest. The unique site and forum will give the attendees many opportunities to exchange ideas, discuss research challenges and forge new collaborations. The total number of attendees will be kept to a maximum of 100 to facilitate such interactions. The themes in 2012 will include: - Synthesis of Biomaterials - Applications of Nanomaterials in Medicine - Self assembly - Theranostics - Polymer Surfaces - Polymers for Imaging and Devices - Polymers and Energy

Call for Abstracts: 6th International Conference on Ocular Infections

The 6th International Conference on Ocular Infections (ICOI) will be held on March 7-10, 2013 at the Loews Hotel, Santa Monica, CA, USA.

Infections of the eye continue to challenge clinicians around the world to make an accurate, rapid diagnosis, as well as providing optimal therapy given the emergence of spread of antimicrobial resistance.

The Scientific Committee encourages the submission of original Abstracts for poster presentations.

All abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee.

The accepted abstracts will be published in the book of abstracts.

If an Abstract is accepted, the presenting author must register.

Authors who submit an abstract but fail to register for the conference run the risk of having their abstracts withdrawn.

The Deadline for Abstract Submission is December 2nd, 2012.

Abstracts must be submitted via the Conference website.

Abstracts submitted by fax or email will not be accepted, If you are unable to submit them via the website, please contact the Secretariat.

Confirmations will be sent by December 13th, 2012.

Submitters that their abstract has been accepted will have to register no later than December 22, 2012.
