About the Symposium

The 2006 International Coating Science and Technology Symposium is sponsored by the International Society for Coating Science and Technology (ISCST) and cosponsored by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE); the Association of Industrial Metalizers, Coaters and Laminators (AIMCAL); and the Industrial Partnership for Research in Interfacial Engineering (I Prime), University of Minnesota. This will be the thirteenth in the continuing biannual symposia on coating science and technology.

This Symposium, with contributions from experts from Europe, Asia, and the Americas, is the premier symposium in the area of liquid film coating and related process phenomena. The meeting provides a forum for discussion of recent advances in understanding the processes of applying and solidifying thin liquid coatings. Both fundamental and applied papers are encouraged; however, preference will be given to papers that appear to be of interest to the broadest audience.

Who Should Attend
This Symposium is designed for coating engineers and scientists in both academia and industry and will provide both practical and fundamental understanding of the coating process as well as networking opportunities. Past industrial participants have mainly come from the imaging, electronics, medical/life sciences, metal coil coating, paper, printing, information storage, automobile, chemical, computer, and textile industries. However, participants from other industries where coating is a key technology will benefit from this Symposium

Official Language
The official language for the Symposium is English. Those not comfortable making a presentation in English are encouraged to present their work in the form of a poster.

Tabletop Exhibits
Companies offering products or services that may be of interest to the attendees are encouraged to participate as exhibitors at this Symposium. The Symposium, which is expected to attract 200-300 engineers and scientists from the world's leading manufacturers of coated products and academic programs in coating science, is an ideal opportunity for companies to reach individuals who improve and scale up new coating processes, new coated products and those who are likely to do so in the future.

The Exhibit Hall will be open each day of the Symposium and will be located in the area where all scheduled breaks are held. The fee for exhibiting is $795, which includes one registration fee. Your display will be a true table top exhibit in which all materials must fit safely on a 6 foot table. Exhibit set-up will start Sunday at noon.
