Workshops are also planned for the three-day meeting. In addition, presentations about Committee D24 will be made the first full day of the gathering. The standards work of the D24 subcommittees on carbon black structure, carbon black surface area and related properties, carbon black microscopy and morphology morphology In biology, the study of the size, shape, and structure of organisms in relation to some principle or generalization. Whereas anatomy describes the structure of organisms, morphology explains the shapes and arrangement of parts of organisms in terms of such , nomenclature nomenclature /no·men·cla·ture/ (no´men-kla?cher) a classified system of names, as of anatomical structures, organisms, etc. binomial nomenclature , non-carbon black components, pellet properties, sampling and statistics, and carbon black testing in rubber will follow.
