CALL FOR PAPERS

 

Surface Engineering for Energy Generation, Storage, and

Conservation Conference

January 20-21, 2009

Walt Disney World’s Shades of Green Resort

 

Sponsored by the National Association for Surface Finishing

 

 

The world is faced with twin challenges:  reducing oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.  Coatings and other surface engineering technologies, while not solutions in themselves, can provide great benefits for both established and emerging energy sources.  This conference seeks to bring the surface engineering community together with potential end users in a two-day interactive meeting in sunny Orlando, Florida.

 

You won’t want to miss this opportunity to participate in this timely conference that will address issues that are of concern to the metal finishing industry.

 

The meeting will be broken down into four sessions running consecutively.  Papers are sought for the following potential sessions:

 

 

• Surface engineering in renewable energy, including solar, geothermal, and wind;
• Energy conservation, including surface technologies to improve engine and/or life cycle energy efficiency;
• Surface engineering and advanced conventional energy sources, such as circulating bed nuclear reactors and coal MHD;
• Surface technologies related to energy transmission and storage, including fuel cells, batteries, and transmission lines.

 

 

Interested?  E-mail your one page abstract to: jrtreglio@yahoo.com

If selected, we will request that you prepare a 20 minute presentation, or a poster.
