Oral presentations will include academic/government/industry experts in chosen areas discussing their discoveries and developments in the preparation, structure and properties of layered systems. The program will be organized similar to that of a Gordon Conference, with morning and evening sessions, and afternoons devoted to networking.

Specific areas of interest include but are not limited to:

 

• Flame Retardant Chemistry

• Polymer Nanotechnology for Flame Retardant Applications

• Flame Retardant Surface Treatments

• Fire and Thermal Polymer Degradation Modeling

• Processing and Preparation of Flame Retardant Materials

• Combustion Structure and Property Relationships

• Fire Testing and Methodology

• Regulations, Codes & Standards of Fire and Environmental Safety

 

A poster session for students who cannot present oral talks is expected as well to occur during one (or more) of the evening networking events.
