11th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE on ORGANIZED FILMS
July 9 - 11, 2008
!!! Deadline for submission of contributions postponed until MAY 15, 2008 !!!
WORKSHOP
TRENDS AND FRONTIERS IN NANOSCALE FILM DESIGN AND ANALYSIS | July 8, 2008
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE - AIM AND SCOPE
The European Conference on Organized Films 2008 is the 11th conference in a series of conferences devoted to current developments and progress in the field of thin organic films and architectures. It aims at promoting the understanding of film formation and organization and the resulting structure - property and function relationships. It covers the wide range from basic research up to application-oriented studies. This includes material development and synthesis of organic molecules, polymers or hybrid materials with specific properties, the fabrication of thin films from Langmuir monolayers to highly organized multilayers and architectures or biomimetic systems, their structuring by appropriate techniques and the subsequent investigation of the resulting structural, optical, electrical or other useful properties up to studies of potential applications. Due to their versatile applicability thin film techniques more and more enter broader fields of advanced technologies as, for instance, molecular electronics, photonics, photovoltaics or sensorics. Therefore the ECOF 11 invites contributions that discuss these different aspects of thin films in science and technology and thus offers enormous opportunities for an intense exchange of new ideas and experiences.
WORKSHOP
A workshop on 'Trends and frontiers in nanoscale film design and analysis' will be presented in cooperation with KSV Instruments Oy, Helsinki, NIMA Technology Ltd., Coventry, and Nanofilm Technologie GmbH, Göttingen. It precedes the conference on July 8, 2008.
EXHIBITON
Stands will be available for exhibitors in prominent places near the lecture room. Please, contact the organizers for more information and pricing. It is also possible to place company advertising in the abstract booklet.
