This book contains the combined proceedings of the 10th International
Conference on Wood & Biofiber Plastic Composites held May 11-12, 2009 and
the Cellulose Nanocomposites Symposium held May 13, 2009. Held every other
year, the conference series brings together people from research, academia,
and industry to discuss and disseminate information and ideas in the area of
woodfiber and other natural fiber-thermoplastic composite materials. The
breadth of interest in the subject and its worldwide significance are
reflected in conference participation, with 174 participants representing 15
countries attending the 2009 conference.

Formal presentations covered fundamental and applied aspects of the
fiber-plastic composites field. Keynote presenters spoke about the history
of bio-based and petroleum-based polymers, wood-plastic composite trends,
and how and why to conduct durability testing. Papers presented in Session A
covered foaming, performance, and materials. Concurrent Session B topics
included durability, products and materials, and processing. In addition,
the one-day Cellulose Nanocomposites Symposium provided an overview of
cellulose nanotechnology with a summary of research and applications.

Dear List Members:
For your information find attached the description of a new wood and fiber
related scientific journal, the International Wood Products Journal.
International Wood Products Journal (formerly The Journal of the Institute
of Wood Science) publishes peer reviewed contributions on all aspects of
wood science, technology and engineering, its processing and applications.
The aim of the journal is to advance and encourage the scientific,
technical, practical and general knowledge of timber- and wood-based
products.

ALTHOUGH WE HAVE YOU ON OUR LIST OF SPONSORS, ATTENDEES, OR GIVING PAPERS; THIS EMAIL IS TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE EXTENSION REGARDING THE CALL FOR PAPERS.
Since the first call for papers went out in December, this conference has been progressing very well. Some updated news is that we have been fortunate to secure Ian de la Roche as our Keynote Speaker this year and he will be speaking on "The New Bio-economy". Please also note that we have extended the call for papers by one month to ensure that everyone who wishes to submit a paper will have ample opportunity to do so. I have included information on booths and sponsorship with this email as well.
I would ask that you forward this e-mail on to any of your colleagues and associates that you think may be interested in attending and posting this on your internal website or newsletters to make sure we have contacted as many interested parties as we can. Please keep checking our website for updates www.biocomp2010.com<http://www.biocomp2010.com>.
To contact us by email please send to biocomp(a)albertainnovates.ca<mailto:biocomp@albertainnovates.ca>

Subject: Call for Papers - Polymeric Materials from Renewable Resources - Pacifichem 2010
International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies
Pacifichem 2010
December 15-20, 2010
Honolulu, Hawai'i, USA
Dear Colleague,
We invite you to submit a paper to the Symposium on Polymeric Materials from Renewable Resources.<http://www.pacifichem.org/symposia/c_symp_6.htm> Your participation will make a valuable contribution to Pacifichem 2010.
Polymeric materials from renewable resources are very important for the conservation and protection of the global environment while maintaining a standard of living. Replacement of petroleum-based plastics and polymeric materials is highly desirable and can offer economic and environmental advantages. With the continuing interest in biofuels, bioenergy and alternate energy sources, the use of agriculture (plant, animal, land, marine) plays a vital role in the development of bio-based chemical feedstocks. This symposium will emphasize the conversion, synthesis, use, and environmental fate of agriculturally-derived polymers for a variety of value-added products. It will also discuss policy issues with respect to global political and economic issues.
The International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies (Pacifichem)<http://pacifichem.org/> is sponsored jointly by the American Chemical Society, the Canadian Society for Chemistry, the Chemical Society of Japan, the New Zealand Institute of Chemistry, the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, the Korean Chemical Society, and the Chinese Chemical Society.
Full announcement: Call for Papers<http://pacifichem.org/abstracts/ChemicalEngineeringNewsPacifichem_01_11_201…>, Chemical & Engineering News, Jan. 11, 2010; Vol. 88, No. 2; pp. 46-49
