Industrial Applications of Theoretical Chemistry Symposium (PHYS)
                220th National American Chemical Society Meeting
			             August 20-24, 2000
			              Washington, DC

The Physical Chemistry Division will be offering a symposium on "Industrial
Applications of Theoretical Chemistry" at the Fall ACS meeting.  The
intended purposes of the symposium are to highlight the increasingly
important role and applicability of molecular and materials simulation in
industrial research, to provide industrial researchers with a forum to share
modeling ideas and success stories, and to bring together industrial and
academic modelers working in closely related areas.  Focus areas include
Homo- and Heterogeneous Catalysis; Polymer Science; Thermodynamics and
Kinetics of Reactions in Gas and Solution Phase; and Surface Reactivity,
Adhesion, and Tribology.

We encourage people involved in research related to these topics to attend
and to contribute a presentation to the symposium.  Abstracts can be
submitted on-line using the ACS OASys system, available at
http://acs.confex.com/oasys.htm, and are due by April 15.  Alternatively,
abstracts can be sent to either of us on the standard ACS form at the
addresses listed below before April 10.
