Theory Institute "Structure, dynamics and charge transport in polymeric materials" June 19-23, 2000, Argonne National Laboratory Organizers: M.-L. Saboungi, L. A. Curtiss, Argonne National Laboratory (Co-chairs) K. Freed (University of Chicago) G. Mao (MSD) M. Ratner (Northwestern University) Dear Colleague, As you may be aware, every year a couple of Theory Institutes are organized at Argonne to bring together theorists working at the forefront of a selected topic. This year, we are organizing one on "Structure, dynamics and charge transport in polymeric materials" with a slight departure from the traditional approach since we are proposing to include a roughly equal number of theorists and experimentalists. The atmosphere of the institute is very informal and designed to promote free discussion. The invited lectures, lasting about 45 minutes and 15 minutes for discussion , have been selected among three general topics: polymer physics, ionically conducting polymers, and biopolymers. Each lecturer will present as much as possible new and unpublished results, and most essentially, introduce controversial issues of interest to both experimentalists and theorists. Our confirmed speakers include, P-G de Gennes, M.B. Armand, L. Borjesson, O. Borodin, J. W. Brady, P. G. Bruce, J. de Pablo, M. Ediger, K. Freed, J.W. Halley, E. Kramer, K.Y. Lee, F. Muller-Plathe, M. Muthukumar, D. L. Price, M. Ratner T. Russell, B. Scrosati, W. Spiess, H. Strey, I. Szleifer, etc. Poster sessions are planned for two afternoons and we would encourage every participant to use posters as background material for enhancing and focusing discussions. We would like very much to invite you to attend the institute. If you would like attend, please fill out the attached registration form and return to the address at the bottom of the form early as possible. If you are planning on presenting a poster please email your title and one-page abstract as soon as possible to one of the Argonne co-organizers (see below). Local lodging is available at the newly built Argonne Guest House. If needed and assuming that there will enough demand for it , we could arrange for transportation between the two airports serving -2- Chicago, O'Hare International Airport or Midway Airport, and Argonne National Laboratory. Visits to the University of Chicago or Northwestern University can be arranged on an individual basis with the corresponding co-organizer. More information is available at the following web site: http://chemistry.anl.gov/compmat/polymer/meeting.html We look forward to your positive response. Yours sincerely, M.-L. Saboungi, (mls@anl.gov) L. A. Curtiss (curtiss@anl.gov) , K. Freed, (k-freed@uchicago.edu ) , M. Ratner, (ratner@chem.nwu.edu)
