Call
for Abstracts Deadline: Due August 5,
2016
We invite
you to submit an abstract to the new Pacific Rim
Symposium on Surfaces, Coatings and Interfaces
(PacSurf 2016) that will be held on the Big Island
of Hawaii from December 11-15, 2016. This
conference is being organized by AVS (United
States) with a Steering Committee composed of
representatives from Australia, Canada, China,
Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, and
Taiwan. We welcome abstract submissions from all
Pacific Rim countries as well as the rest of the
world. We will have morning and evening technical
sessions with the afternoons free for other
activities and discussions.
