The 26th Miller Conference on Radiation Chemistry August 27, 2009

It is our pleasure to announce the 26th Miller Conference on Radiation Chemistry to be held in Keszthely, a baroque town located at Lake Balaton in Hungary, between August 28 and September 2, 2009. This anniversary meeting (the first Miller was organized in 1950) will be held in a town that is especially suitable to make the participants feel the friendly atmosphere not only during the sessions but also during the time of relaxation.

Scientific scope
Both the basic and applied aspects of radiation chemistry belong to the scope of the Conference:

• Fundamental processes in radiation chemistry;


• Electron beam-, ion beam-, photon-, laser-, plasma reactions;


• Chemistry of exotic atoms (e. g. positronium, negative ions, positron annihilation);


• Radiolysis of inorganic and organic systems;


• Radiation chemistry of biological sytems, biopolymers, damage and repair, radicals in biological systems;


• Radiation chemistry of nanoscale systems;


• Macromolecular systems (polymerization kinetics, crosslinking, grafting, radiation stability, EB and UV curing of surface coating, etc.);


• Biomedical materials (biocompatible surfaces, hydrogels, drug delivery devices, etc.);


• Environmental protection (e. g. wastewater-, sludge-, flue gas treatment, recycling of wastes);


• Food irradiation, identification of irradiated food, packaging materials;


• Radiation sterilization (current issues, pharmaceuticals, etc.)
