Solid-State Chemistry and Materials Science II - Microwave Synthesis and Processing of Materials
This symposium will bring together scientists from the fields of inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, condensed matter physics, materials science, and engineering in order to examine current topics of interest to the greater materials chemistry community. Topics will include the use of microwaves to prepare a wide range of materials from intermetallics to ceramics.

Sessions will be comprised of invited speakers and contributed talks. Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are highly encouraged to submit abstracts.
