XIIth International Congress on Rheology

TECHNICAL PROGRAM

The technical program will start on Monday morning, August 19,1996 and will end at 1 p.m. on Friday, August 23,1996. The following experts will participate as invited speakers:

Opening Lecture	Pierre Carreau

Keynote Speakers	Robert C. Armstrong John Brady Harry L. Goldsmith C.G. De Kruif Ronald G. Larson Malcolm Mackley Joachim Meissner Hans Christian Öttinger A.N. Semenov

In addition to plenary and keynote addresses, 275 oral presentations and 230 poster presentaions have been scheduled. Oral presentations of twenty minutes, including discussion time, are organized in six parallel sessions. Also, three poster sessions are planned so as not to conflict with the oral presentations. The following topics are part of the program:

Rheology of Polymers and Liquid Crystals (Theory and Experiment)
- Dilute solutions
- Melt, concentrated solutions, blends, block copolymers
- Networks (gels and rubbers)
- Liquid crystals
Rheology of Heterogeneous and Particulate Systems (Theory and Experiment)
- Colloidal dispersions, emulsions, electro-rheological f luids
- Suspensions and granular materials
- Composites and foams
Continuum Mechanics and Flow Modeling
- Constitutive equations
- Fluid mechanics and flow simulation
- Materials processing
New Experimental Methods
Food Rheology

There will be special symposia on topics dealing with:

the thermodynamic approach to modeling and simulation
industrial and process rheology
rheology and flow of fiber suspensions
diffusion and biorheology

as well as the Raymond Cox memorial symposium.

A short course entitled: "Fundamentals of Rheology with Applications to Dispersions" has been planned in conjunction with the Congress for August 16-18, 1996.
