The paper presented by the author, ''Simulation of the Dynamic Behavior of Polymeric Gels'' (bending of polyelectrolyte gels), was well received. The visit to De Rossi's laboratory revealed that he has performed many of the same experiments that the author has planned with polyacrylonitrile fibers; collaboration is possible. Primary focus of the papers at the conference was on application of old smart materials (fiber optics, piezoelectrics, aerospace, optics, sensors, actuators, controllers). (DLC)
