XII PNCS
Dates: September 6 – 10, 2009
Location: Foz do Iguaçu, PR, Brazil
The XII PNCS will provide a forum for presentation of the state-of-the-art and of opportunities in the field of non-crystalline materials, as well as for discussion on the major challenges ahead. This meeting will also establish fruitful contacts between leading scientists, young researchers and students.
Crystallization 2009
Dates: September 10 – 13, 2009
Location: Foz do Iguaçu, PR, Brazil
A key objective of Crystallization 2009 is to bridge the gap between the scientific understanding of nucleation and growth in glasses and the various applications of glass-ceramic and other crystalline materials. Another important objective of Crystallization 2009 is to bring scientists from “other communities”, for instance geologists, polymer scientists, chemical engineers, and metallic glass researches to share their approaches to tackle a plethora of crystallization problems with the “inorganic glass community”.
Crystallization 2009 will be dedicated to the life and scientific accomplishments of Peter F. James. Peter would have been 70 years old in 2009.
