ISSHAC-12

GEOMETRIC AND CHEMICAL HETEROGENEITIES OF SOLID SURFACES PLAY A KEY-ROLE IN A WIDE RANGE OF processes INCLUDING ADSORPTION, CATALYSIS, SEPARATION, GAS STORAGE, surface modification, ELECTROCHEMISTRY, AND MANY OTHERS. TO SHARE AND BROADEN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHENOMENA RELATED TO SURFACE HETEROGENEITY WE ORGANIZED the ISSHAC SYMPOSIA WHICH HAVE SERVED AS A FORUM FOR AN INTENSIVE EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION ON EXPERIMENTAL FINDINGS AND THEORETICAL APPROACHES DEFINING THE STATE OF THE ART AND FOSTERING PROGRESS IN THIS FIELD.
