Editorial: The fiber society 2012 fall meeting and technical conference in partnership with polymer fibers 2012: Boston convention and exhibition center, Boston, Massachusetts, November 7-9, 2012

摘要

It was with great pleasure that I co-chaired the Fiber Society's 2012 Fall Meeting and Technical Conference in Boston in November 2012. The other co-chairs of the meeting were Professor Greg Rutledge (MIT) and Dr.Cheryl Gomes (QinetiQ). The meeting was held in association with Polymer Fibers, a series of conferences that started life in manchester in 2000 and have run every 2 years since then. A previous edition of Journal of Materials Science featured papers from this conference in 2001 [1] with an editorial from Professor Robert J Young FRS, another editor of this journal.
