A new rapidly progressing field on the crossroads among chemistry, biochemistry, physics and technology - supramolecular chemistry - has just emerged.

Although in nature the vast majority of polymers are condensation polymers, much publicity has been focused on functionalized vinyl polymers.

"e;Electrocrystallization is a particular case of a first order phase transition"e; and "e;Electrocrystallization is a particular case of electrochemical kinetics"e; are two statements that I have heard and read many times.

In the decade since the introduction of the first commercial lithium-ion battery research and development on virtually every aspect of the chemistry and engineering of these systems has proceeded at unprecedented levels.

The 20th International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mech- ics, ICTAM 2000, took place August 27 - September 2, 2000, in the c- ference facilities of the Chicago Marriott Downtown on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

During the last decades, continuum mechanics of porous materials has achieved great attention, since it allows for the consideration of the volumetrically coupled behaviour of the solid matrix deformation and the pore-fluid flow.

The electron density of a non-degenerate ground state system determines essentially all physical properties of the system.

The IUTAM Symposium on Mechanical and Electromagnetic Waves in Structured Media took place at the University of Sydney from January 18- 22, 1999.

In the future, our energy systems will need to be renewable and sustainable, efficient and cost-effective, convenient and safe.

The fluorine atom, by virtue of its electronegativity, size, and bond strength with carbon, can be used to create compounds with remarkable properties.

Many books are available that detail the basic principles of the different methods of surface characterization.

With the development in the 1960s of ultrahigh vacuum equipment and techniques and electron, X-ray, and ion beam techniques to determine the structure and composition of interfaces, activities in the field of surface science grew nearly exponentially.

Experiments showing a rapid and reversible change of color seem to be magic and are always fascinating.

Lead-based paint has become a national issue and will continue to be a hi- priority focus ofnational, state, and local agencies until there is no lead-based paint in the United States.

Our brutal century of atom bombs and spaceships can also be called the century ofpolymers.

The earliest experimental data on an oxygen-free glass have been published by Schulz-Sellack in 1870 [1].

Quantum well devices have been the objects of intensive research during the last two decades.

Particle characterization is an important component in product research and development, manufacture, and quality control of particulate materials and an important tool in the frontier of sciences, such as in biotechnology and nanotechnology.

Advances in nanoscale science show that the properties of many materials are dominated by internal structures.

This text is the published version of many ofthe talks presented at two symposiums held as part of the Southeast Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society (SERMACS) in Knoxville, TN in October, 1999.

The International Symposium of Acoustical Imaging has been widely recognized as the premier forum for presentations of advanced research results in both theoretical and experimental development.

The origin ofthe International Acoustical Imaging Symposium series can be traced to 1967, when a meeting on acoustical holography was held in C alifornia.
