Green Chemistry and Manufacturing

It is an alarming fact that most research and development programs accomplish scientific breakthroughs at the expense of the environment. A growing number of costly environmental regulations and restrictions coupled with evidence of undesirable environmental effects related to current patterns of industrialization make environmental performance a bottom line criterion for conducting research. Green chemistry methodologies have achieved remarkable success in academia and industry at reducing or eliminating hazardous wastes and by-products, without sacrificing scientific innovation and creativity. This symposium will feature cutting-edge applications of green chemistry in the areas of electronics and semiconductor chemistries, organic chemistry, polymers, and catalysis.
