Progress in the area of materials science has often followed the introduction of new simplifying concepts. The concept of nucleation and growth introduced in the 50's, for example, had a major impact in the development of fields of metallurgy and ceramics. The introduction of scaling concepts in the late 60's had a similar effect on the field of polymer science. The concept of fractal geometry may have a similar impact on all branches of materials science where disorder is the essential feature. Although the potential for fractal analysis of materials has been adequately demonstrated by numerous computer simulations, actual experimental demonstrations have been substantially more limited. Part of the purpose of this symposium is to encourage the development of experimental studies of random growth processes and disordered materials. Although the emphasis of the symposium is on fractal materials, it is clear that many disordered systems are not fractal. An effort has been made therefore to include speakers whose interests are in nonfractal, disordered materials. This symposium includes many of the pioneers whose work brought the concept of fractal geometry to materials science.
