> Introduction
>
> One purpose of a research meeting is to try to recreate the atmosphere of
> the "community of scholars". Like-minded people with a curiosity about a
> particular part of the universe gather in an appropriate and creative
place and
> present, discuss, argue and learn. The previous Conferences in Cambridge
in
> 1989, 1994 and 1999 succeeded in this aim. The combination of enthusiastic
and
> argument­ative audiences, single session meetings, creative timekeeping,
the
> cloistered and magical Cambridge atmosphere, informal discussion
facilities
> close by, excellent presentations and good food and wines, made for
exhausting
> but illuminating weeks.
>
> We will be running a similar meeting at the same college, the college of
John
> Milton and Charles Darwin, between 20th and 24th September 2004 using the
same
> format as our previous Conferences. In particular, to encourage new ideas
and
> up to date presentations, we will be calling for a late submission of the
> extended abstracts to try to reduce the delay between the generation of
data
> and its public presentation. In view of this, we will be late in issuing
the
> final timetable. If the author wishes, submission of full papers may be
made at
> the Conference and it is our intention for the proceedings to be published
> rapidly afterwards in the web based corrosion journal, The Journal of
Corrosion
> Science and Engineering.
>
>
> It is hoped to include papers in the following areas:
>
> polymer films, transport properties, pigments, novel mechanisms of
inhibition,
> adhesion, interfacial modification, adhesion enhancement, underfilm
corrosion,
> blistering, disbonding, underfilm electrochemical reactions, polymer
> degradation, metallic and non metallic substrates, conversion layers,
surface
> preparation, unusual environments, polymers on stone and concrete,
> electropolymers for corrosion control and adhesion enhancement, filiform
> corrosion, rust converters, assessment of surfaces, accelerated testing.
>
> Other research areas that are not mentioned above, but that are within the
> general theme of the conference, will also be acceptable. There is space
in
> the timetable for about seventy oral presentations. If numbers exceed,
either
> a poster session will be provided or people will have to sleep less.
