April 6-9: DYFP 2009
April 6th, 2009
The 14th international conference on Deformation, Yield and Fracture of Polymers (DYFP2009) will be held April 6-9, 2009, in the Rolduc Abbey in Kerkrade, the Netherlands.
The Churchill conferences on the deformation, yield and fracture of polymers, held triennially since 1970, have established this event as the leading conference on its subject worldwide. The 2009 conference reviews developments and identifies trends in the scientific understanding of deformation, yield and fracture of polymeric materials.
Kind regards,
