Internat ional Conference on Science and Technology o f Synthet ic Metals 1992 (ICSM '92) G6teborg, Sw eden , August 12 -18 , 1992

The conference will provide an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of recent experimental and theoretical results in the physics, chemistry and material science of synthetic metals (low-dimensional conductors) . Contri- butions on the following topics are anticipated:

• Theory of conducting crystals • Synthesis of new conducting crystals • Organic superconductors • Theory of conducting polymers • Synthesis of conducting polymers • Structure of conducting polymers • Propert ies of conducting polymers • Nonlinear optical propert ies • Pyropolymers and graphitic materials • Transition metal chalcogenides and oxides • Organic and inorganic conduc.ting crystals • Ferromagnetic polymers and charge transfer salts • New low-dimensional conductors and organic semiconductors • Applications of synthetic metals • Devices • Product exhibition by suppliers

Papers submitted to the conference will be presented either orally or in the form of posters. Following the tradition of the previous conferences, the oral sessions will be reserved for invited papers, complemented by some selected contr ibuted papers. Abstracts of the contr ibuted papers should be received no later than March 31, 1992.

Polymer Ionics '92 GSteborg, S w eden , August 19 -21 , 1992

A satellite conference on polymer electrolytes, Polymer Ionics '92, 'will be organized in the GSteborg area immediately after the close of ICSM '92. The meeting will deal with experimental, theoretical and applied aspects of polymer electrolytes. Special attention will be focused on new materials and the mechanism for conduction.
