This and its companion Volumes 2 and 3 document the proceed- ings
of the 4th International Symposium on Surfactants in Solution held
in Lund, Sweden, June 27-July 2, 1982. This biennial event was
christened as the 4th Symposium as this was a continuation of ear-
li er conferences dealing with surfactants held in 1976 (Albany)
under the title "Micellization, Solubilization, and
Microemulsions"; in 1978 (Knoxville) under the title "Solution
Chemistry of Surfac- tants"; and in 1980 (Potsdam) where it was
dubbed as "Solution Be- bavior of Surfactants: Theoretical and
Applied Aspects:' The Pl02 3 ceedings of all these symposia have
been properly chronicled. ' , The Lund Symposium was bi lIed as
"Surfactants in Solution" as both the aggregation and adsorption
aspects of surfactants were covered, and furthermore we were
interested in a general title which could be used for future
conferences in this series. As these biennial events bave become a
weIl recognized forum for bringing together researchers with varied
interests in the arena of surfactants, so it is amply vindicated to
continue these, and the next meeting is planned for July 9-13, 1984
in Bordeaux, France under the cochair- manship of K. L. Mittal and
P. Bothorel. The venue for 1986 is still open, although India,
inter alia, is a good possibility. Apropos, we would be delighted
to entertain suggestions regarding where and when these biennial
symposia should be held in the future and you may direct your
response to Kk~.
This book documents the proceedings of the Third Symposium on
Particles in Gases and Liquids: Detection, Characterization and
Control held as a part of the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Fine
Particle Society in San Jose, California, July 29-August 2, 1991.
This series of symposia was initiated in 1987 in light of the
growing importance to eliminate particles from process gases and
liquids. As pointed out in the Preface to antecedent volumes in
this series that particles in process gases and liquids could cause
significant yield losses in precision manufacturing and
concomitantly there has been heightened interest in understanding
the behavior of particles in gases and liquids and devising ways to
eliminate, or at least reduce substantially, these particles. The
concern about particles in gases and liquids has been there for
qui.te some time in the microelectronics arena, but there are other
areas also where particles are of significant concern, e.g. in
operation theatres in hospitals, food and beverage industry, and
pharmaceutical manufacturing. This symposium basically had the same
objectives as its predecessors, but to provide an update on the
R&D activity taking place in the arena of particle detection,
characterization and control. The printed program comprised a total
of 28 papers dealing with variegated aspects of particles in gases
and liquids. There were brisk and lively discussions and the
attendees offered many positive comments, which goes to show that
it was a well-received and needed symposium.
This volume chronicles the proceedings of the 8th International
Symposium on Surfactants in Solution (SIS) held in Gainesville, FL,
June 10-15, 1990. This series of symposia have been smoothly
running since 1976, but the appellation "Surfactants in Solution"
was used for the first time in 1982 in Lund. Since then our logo
"SIS" has become very familiar to everyone involved in surfactants.
In Lund the meeting was billed as the Fourth International
Symposium on Surfactants in Solution. Earlier three events were
held under different rubrics, but proceedings of all these
symposia, except the 7th SIS held in Ottawa in 1988, have been
properly documented. As a matter of fact so far 10 volumes have
appeared under the title "Surfactants in Solution". 1,2,3 The
program for the 9th SIS was very comprehensive and many
ramifications of surfactants were covered, and it was a veritable
international event. It contained a total of 384 papers by 869
authors from practically every corner of our planet. Just the sheer
number of papers is a testimonial to the high tempo of research and
tremendous interest in this wonderful class of materials. As in the
past, there were plenary lectures (5), invited talks (37), oral
presentations (195) and poster presentations (147). The plenary
lectures were given by Prof. J. Th. G. Overbeek, Prof. C. A.
Bunton, Prof. H. Ti Tien and Dr. J. Swalen. The lecture by Prof.
Overbeek, the doyen of surface and colloid science, was a real
treat.
This volume chronicles the proceedings of the Symposium on
Metallized Plastics: Fundamental and Applied Aspects held under the
auspices of the Dielectrics and Insulation Division of the
Electrochemical Society in Chicago, October 10-12, 1988. This was
the premier symposium on this topic and if the comments from the
attendees are any barometer of the success of a symposium then it
was a grand success. Concomitantly, it has been decided to hold it
on a regular basis (at intervals of 18 months) and the second event
in this series is planned as a part of the Electrochemical Society
meeting in Montreal, Canada, May 6-10, 1990. Metallized plastics
find a legion of applications ranging from mundane to very
sophisticated. A complete catalog of the various technological
applications of metallized plastics will be prohibitively long, so
here some eclectic examples should suffice to show why there is
such high tempo of R&D activity in the arena of metallized
plastics, and all signals indicate that this high tempo will
continue unabated. For example, polymeric films are metallized for
packaging (food and other products) purposes, and the applications
of metallized plastics in the automotive industry are quite
obvious. In the field of microelectronics and computer technology,
insulators are metallized for interconnection and other functional
purposes. Also plastics are metallized to provide electromagnetic
shielding.
This volume chronicles the proceedings of the Third Symposium on
Particles on Surfaces : Detection, Adhesion and Removal held as a
part of the 21st Annual Meeting of the Fine Particle Society in San
Diego , California, August 21 - 25 , 1990 . The first two symposia
i n t h i s series were held in 1986 and 1988 , respectively, and
have been properly l documented ,2. Li ke its antecedent s the
Third symposium was very well received, and the continuing success
of these symposia reinforced our earlier belief that regular
symposia on the topic of particles on surfaces were very much
needed. Concomitantly, the fourth symposium in this series is
planned in Las Vegas , July 13-17 , 199 2 . l As pointed out in the
Preface to the earlier two volumes ,2, the topic of particles on
surfaces is of tremendous interest and concern in a wide spectrum
of technological areas . The objectives of the Third symposium were
es s ent i a l ly the same as those of the earlier two and our
intent her e was to provide an update on the research and
development activities in the world of particles on surfaces .
Apropos , there has been a deliberate attempt every time to s eek
out new people to present their research results and we have been
very succes s f ul in this mission.
Proceedings of a technical conference held in Ellenville, New York,
November 10-12, 1982
This and its companion Volume 2 chronicle the proceedings of the
First Technical Conference on Polyimides: Synthesis, Char
acterization and Applications held under the auspices of the Mid
Hudson Section of the Society of Plastics Engineers at Ellenville,
New York, November 10-12, 1982. In the last decade or so there has
been an accelerated interest in the use of polyimides for a variety
of applications in a number of widely differing technologies. The
applications of polyimides range from aerospace to microelectronics
to medical field, and this is attributed to the fact that
polyimides offer certain desirable traits, inter alia, high
temperature stability. Polyimides are used as organic insulators,
as adhesives, as coat ings, in composites, just to name a few of
their uses. Even a casual search of the literature will underscore
the importance of this class of materials and the high tempo of
R&D activity taking place in the area of polyimides. So it was
deemed that a conference on polyimides was both timely and needed.
This conference was designed to provide a forum for discussion of
various ramifications of polyimides, to bring together scientists
and technologists interested in all aspects of polyimides and thus
to provide an opportunity for cross-pollination of ideas, and to
highlight areas which needed further and intensi fied R&D
efforts. If the comments from the attendees are a baro meter of the
success of a conference, then this event was highly successful and
fulfilled amply its stated objectives.
Surfactants play a variety of critical roles in tribology. In
addition to controlling friction and wear, they also allow for
control of a wide range of properties of lubricants, such as
emulsification/demulsification, bioresistance, oxidation
resistance, and rust/corrosion prevention. This book explains
recent advances in the role of surfactants within the purview of
tribology, with an emphasis on product development. Includes
Theoretical, Experimental, and Technological Advances Providing a
unique exploration of the nexus between surfactants and tribology,
this text represents the cumulative expertise of leading scientists
and technologists engaged in the study of surfactants in variegated
tribological phenomena. Organized thematically for easy reference,
the volume covers- * Fundamentals of surfactants * Tribological
aspects of micro- and nanodevices, including micro-patterns of
two-dimensional asperity arrays, MEMS, NEMS, and magnetic recording

aggregation kinetics, surfactant and polymer nanostructures, a
This volume chronicles the proceedings of the Third Symposium on
Metallized Plastics: Fundamental and Applied Aspects held under the
auspices of the Dielectric Science and Technology Division of the
Electrochemical Society in Phoenix, Arizona, October 13-18, 1991.
This series of symposia to address the subject of metallized
plastics was initiated in 1988 and the premier symposium was held
in Chicago, October 10-12, 1988, followed by the second event in
Montreal, Canada, May 7-10, 1990. The rroceedings of these two
symposia have been properly documented ,2. The third symposium was
a huge success like the previous two events, and all this is
testimonial to the brisk interest and high tempo of R&D
activity in the fie14 of metallized plastics. This further bolsters
our earlier thinking that there was a conspicuous need to hold
symposia on this topic on a regular basis and the fourth is planned
for May 16-21, 1993 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The study of metallized
plastics constitutes an important human endeavor l and as pointed
out earlier there are myriad applications of metallized plastics
ranging from very commonplace to exotic. Also a survey of the
recent literature will reveal that both the fundamental and applied
aspects of metallized plastics are being pursued with great vigor.

Surfactants play a critical role in Tribology controlling friction,
wear, and lubricant properties such as emulsification,
demulsification, bioresistance, oxidation resistance, rust
prevention and corrosion resistance. This is a critical topic for
new materials and devices particularly those built at the
nanoscale. This newest volume will address important advances,
methods, and the use of novel materials to reduce friction and
wear. Scientists from industrial research and development (R&D)
organizations and academic research teams in Asia, Europe, the
Middle East and North America will participate in the work.
This book chronicles the proceedings of the Second Symposium on
Particles in Gases and Liquids: Detection, Characterization and
Control held as a part of the 20th Annual Fine Particle Society
meeting in Boston, August 21-25, 1989. As this second symposium was
as successful as the prior one, so we have decided to hold symposia
on this topic on a regular (biennial) basis and the third symposium
in this series is scheduled to be held at the 22nd Annual Meeting
of the Fine Particle Society in San Jose, California, July
29-August 2, 1991. l As pointed out in the Preface to the prior
volume in this series that recently there has been tremendous
concern about yield losses due to unwanted particles, and these
unwelcome particles can originate from a legion of sources,
including process gases and liquids. Also all signals indicate that
in the future manufacture of sophisticated and sensitive
microelectronic components (with shrinking dimensions) and other
precision parts, the need for detection, characterization, analysis
and control of smaller and smaller particles will be more
intensified.
This volume documents the proceedings of the Second Symposium on
Metallized Plastics: Fundamental and Applied Aspects held under the
aegis of the Dielectric Science and Technology Division of the
Electrochemical Society in Montreal, Canada, May 7-10, 1990. The
first symposium on this topic was held in Chicago, October 10-12,
1988 and the proceedings of l which have been chronicled in a
hard-bound volume l As pointed out in the Preface to the
proceedings of the first symposium the metallized plastics find
scores of applications ranging from very mundane to very
sophisticated. Even a cursory look at the literature will convince
that this field has sprouted; and there is every reason to believe
that with all the research and development activities taking place,
new and exciting applications of metallized plastics will emerge.
The program for the second symposium was very comprehensive as it
included 46 papers covering many aspects of metallized plastics.
This symposium was a testimonial to the brisk research activity and
keen interest in the topic of metallized plastics. The success of
this symposium reinforced our earlier belief that there was a
definite need to hold symposia on this topic on a regular basis.
Concomitantly, the third symposium in this vein was held in
Phoenix, Arizona, October 13-18, 1991 and the fourth is planned for
May 16-21, 1993 in Honolulu, Hawaii. As regards the present volume,
it contains a total of 35 papers covering a variety of topics
ranging from very fundamental to very applied.
Sealing is an age-old problem that dates back to our earliest
attempts to create a more comfortable living environment.
Prehistoric people used natural sealants such as earth, loam,
grass, and reeds to protect the interior of their homes against the
weather. Today's applications extend to a myriad of uses. The
Handbook of Sealant Technology provides an in-depth examination of
sealants, reviewing their historical developments and fundamentals,
adhesion theories and properties, and today's wide range of
applications. Featuring contributions from international academic
and industry experts, this comprehensive, illustrated reference
explores: The history of sealants from the Stone Age to the present
The testing and durability of sealants and sealed joints The use of
organofunctional silanes in sealant technology Hot melt and
intumescent sealants Urethane waterproofing membrane systems Foam

expansion joints, and automotive electronics Fibrin sealants for
biomedical applications As technology continues to develop, the
potential for sealant use grows exponentially. This valuable
reference guide provides a window on the past and offers insight
into the extent of future possibilities in a host of industries.
The premier symposium on Surfactants in Tribology, held in Seoul in
2006, was an enormously successful event that generated a high
level of interest in the topic, leading to the publication of the
first volume in this series in 2008. The tremendous response was
echoed at the follow-up symposium in Berlin that same year, and
leading researchers, many of whom participated in the second event,
were invited to submit chapters for Surfactants in Tribology,
Volume Two. Reflecting the cumulative wisdom of a contingent of
researchers, this text explores all-new topics critical to the
future of tribology. Topics discussed in this second volume
include: Properties of silane, thio, phthalocyanine and
