The 34 papers investigate the processing routes and properties of the complex molecular and macromolecular structures that hold biological cells together, both to reveal some of the mysteries of cell function and to identify natural solutions for optimizing membranes that might be adapted for applications in materials science. They cover the mechanics of DNA; the cytoskeleton, semiflexible polymers, polyelectrolytes, and motor proteins; properties and models of membranes and their interactions with macromolecules; biomaterials; and cells and cellular processes.

Proceedings of the April 1998 symposium, which focused on high-density package solutions, with an emphasis on flip-chip technology. Topics include interfacial adhesion behavior, flip-chip interconnections, high-density substrates, thermomechanical behavior, and packaging reliability issues. Articles address the fracture of polymer interfaces and the delamination tendencies seen with flip-chip interconnections on organic substrates, under-bump metallurgy issues, and overall reliability issues.

Proceedings of a December 1997 symposium. Half of the 140 papers presented discuss various aspects of lithium batteries, especially modeling, synthesis, and processing of cathode materials. Other topics include rechargeable battery anode materials, intercalation and Li bonding sites, supercapacitors, the use of novel materials, new colloidal deposition techniques, and sol-gel processing procedures.

The 57 papers update the status of characterization techniques that use synchrotron radiation since the previous symposium on the subject in the spring of 1996. The techniques considered include X-ray absorption and scattering, imaging, tomography, microscopy, and topographic methods. Among the materials are surfaces, interfaces, electronic materials, metal oxides, solar cells, thin films, carbides, polymers, alloys, nanoparticles, and graphitic materials. Some of the papers are doubled spaced. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The 31 papers, about half of the symposium's presentations, were selected to provide a representative sampling of the present status of materials used in vacuum microelectronics. They range across all aspects of electron field emission from theory and physical mechanisms to device structure, but many focus on the fabrication, characterization, and modeling of electron emissive materials. The sections cover field-emitter arrays and applications, carbon and wide-bandgap cathodes, and other cathode materials. Reproduced from typescripts.
