2006 Sink or Swim - Last year, the annual Sink or Swim Coatings
Symposium was held on campus May 23 & 24th 2006 in the University Union and the Martin
Center. This year there were four speakers
invited from outside of the Cleveland Coating Society to give plenary lectures. The technical meeting had a total of 18
presentations and was well attended with over 150 people.
There was also an excellent showing of exhibitors which filled the
University Union Ballroom (55 exhibitor booths) for total of 240 people in attendance. Over 30 students, post-doctoral fellows, and
Professors from University of Cincinnati, Ohio State University, and the University of
Akron contributed to the conference. There
were many excellent talks with the first day ending with a Speakers Reception at the
elegant Martin Center. During both the first
and second days coating workshops were held including: 1) Fundamentals of Coatings, 2)
Corrosion, 3) Catalysis, and 4) Linking Creativity with Commercialization. There was also a tour of both Polymer Science and
Polymer Engineering facilities, which was much appreciated by the attendees. Overall, the Symposium was a stunning success,
with an universal impression of technical excellence, state-of-the-art facilities, and
beautiful surroundings for networking. It is
anticipated that next year the Symposium will be held again the University of Akron May 22
& 23 2007.
