Call For Papers - CFP

conductivity, as functional materials, and for their

ability to respond to external stimuli. Polyaniline and

polypyrrole are typical but by no means the only

conducting polymers. They are investigated alone, or as

components of compound materials.

The synthesis of conducting polymers and the

preparation of their composites, their structural

characterization, their physical and chemical properties,

and their applications both in well-established and new

surprising directions are of interest.

TOPICS

Chemical and electrochemical synthesis of

conducting polymers, the control of molecular structure

and supramolecular morphology. Preparation of thin

films, colloidal particles, and coatings. Composite

materials comprising conducting polymers,

combinations of conducting polymers with noble

metals, carbons, and other inorganic and organic

components. Related oligomers. The chemical

modification and carbonization of conducting polymers.

Processing of conducting polymers and their stability.

Characterization of conducting polymers by

spectroscopic methods. Modelling and simulations.

Molar masses and molecular architecture. Electrical,

magnetic, mechanical, optical and other physical

properties of conducting polymers. Charge transport.

Chemical properties of conducting polymers. The

relations between the chemical and physical properties

of conducting polymers.

Applications of conducting polymers as conducting

materials, e.g., in flexible electronics. The use of

conducting polymers in corrosion protection, in

electrorheology. Conducting polymers in energy

conversions, as electrode materials in fuel cells,

batteries, and supercapacitors. The design of analytical

devices, sensors, and actuators. The role of conducting

polymers in catalysis and electrocatalysis, separation

science and membrane technologies, in biomedical

applications and other fields.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

Lectures. The scientific program will include about seven

invited lectures and a series of contributed oral

presentations. Those participants who wish to present a

lecture should submit a brief summary with the preliminary

registration card to the PMM Secretariat. Detailed

information will be given in the Microsymposium circulars.

Poster communications. Two poster sessions are planned.

Maximum two posters per participant are allowed.

SOCIAL PROGRAM

The participants will have the opportunity to relax and enjoy

Prague. An excursion to the Prague surroundings will be

organized. All participants will be invited to take part in

social events.
