| Polymers | |||
| This symposium covers recent advances in all major areas of polymer science and engineering. Contributions may include the following topics: polymer chemistry (synthesis, catalysis, characterization), physics (structure/property relationships, modeling, theory), and materials (nanocomposites, fabrication, devices). Papers dealing with environmentally sustainable polymers, self-organizing and chiral polymers, as well as electronic and photonic polymers are especially encouraged. | |||
