18th European Conference on Thermophysical Properties
Pau, France 31 Aug-4 Sep 2008

About and Scope of the Conference

The present Conference is the 18th in a series of conferences on Thermophysical Properties that are held in Europe every three years since 1968 in the following locations.

1968 Baden-Baden Germany   1986 Rome Italy
1970 Salford United Kingdom   1988 Umea Sweden
1972 Turin Italy   1990 Vienna Austria
1974 Orleans France   1993 Lisbon Portugal
1976 Moscow Russia   1996 Lyon France
1978 Dubrovnik Yugoslavia   1999 Würzburg Germany
1980 Antwerpen Belgium   2002 London United Kingdom
1982 Baden-Baden Germany   2005 Bratislava Slovak Republic
1984 Manchester United Kingdom        



In 2008, the conference will be held in Pau (France). It will be co-organised by the Laboratory of Complex Fluids (University of Pau, France) which will be responsible for the scientific program regarding the fluids, and the Institute of Physics, Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava together with the Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra which will be responsible for the solids.

The conference (Official language: English) will include invited lectures, oral presentations, poster sessions and workshops on specialized topics. An exhibition of scientific equipment will be held during the conference.



Scope of the Conference

The objective of the conference is to provide a forum for academic and industrial researchers to meet and exchange valuable experiences in the field of thermophysical properties of a wide variety of systems covering fluids and solids. The conference concentrates on, but is not limited, to the following properties:

thermal and electrical conductivity, viscosity and non-Newtonian properties, mass-diffusion and thermo-diffusion coefficients, optical and radiative properties, solubility, phase equilibrium including liquid - solid, calorimetric and volumetric properties, speed of sound, interfacial properties including wettability...


and concerned materials such as:

metallic, ceramics, composites, granular and thin-film materials, multi-functional materials, porous materials, thermal insulation, soft materials, nano-materials, polymers, biomaterials, environmentally friendly fluids, aqueous systems, petroleum fluids, ionic liquids, molten salt.
