Welcome to Carbon2004, the leading international meeting dedicated to the science and technology of carbon materials. Currently there is tremendous excitement in the carbon field, and this meeting serves as an interdisciplinary forum for presentation and discussion of the most recent research results. The meeting covers synthesis, structure, properties, and applications of diverse carbon materials ranging from nanotubes and fullerenes to carbon fiber composites and sorbents; from electrodes, catalysts, and gas storage media to pyrolytic coatings and flame-formed chars and nano-particulate.
The 2004 meeting will be hosted by the American Carbon Society and will be held on the historic campus of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island (USA). Rhode Island, the smallest of the 50 states by land area and one of the original 13 colonies, is now known for its ocean beaches, historical sites, and the maritime city of Newport with its elegant mansions and large collection of pre-revolutionary buildings. Providence Rhode Island is also close to Boston (100 km) and to the summer playground of Cape Cod (100 km) (see map).
The meeting site will be served by the newly renovated T.F. Green Airport (PVD) which serves Providence, with low-cost connecting flights from New York and many other major cities. Some international visitors may choose to arrive in Boston and travel to Providence by car or airport coach service, with an approximate travel time of 1 hour.
