The 2007 ICE Poster Sessions competition is designed to provide a forum for students involved in coatings research by serving as a noncommercial arena for new ideas and techniques, and showcase preliminary results and work that is significant but not fully completed.The preliminary list of posters to be presented includes:

The Student Poster presentations will take place on the Exhibit floor on: Wednesday, October 3—12:00 noon to 4:30 pm; and Thursday, October 4—11:00 am to 1:00 pm and 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm.
