I am delighted to announce the organization of the 3rd Pacific Rim Conference on Rheology that will take place in Vancouver on July 8-13, 2001. On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite you to present a paper covering one or more of the following themes:


1 Applied polymer rheology with applications to polymer processing
2 Rheology and thermodynamics of polymer blends and composites
3 Extensional polymer melt and solution rheology
4 Rheology of metallocene polyolefins - Long Chain Branching and polydispersity effects
5 Flow instabilities: Melt fracture-wall slip and related phenomena
6 New experimental methods
7 Modeling of polymer flows and numerical simulations
8 Rheology of complex fluids (electro and magneto-rheological fluids)
9 Rheology of suspensions, and Emulsions
10 Biorheology and general rheology
11 Invited speakers that will open sessions in each of the above themes. These are:

Plenary Lecture:

Roger Tanner - History of Rheology
Monday morning after the opening remarks
