Material Chemistry and Polymer Chemistry
Polymer chemistry focus on cutting edge developments, spanning the design, controlled synthesis, characterization, and application of modern polymeric materials. Topics include smart and responsive polymers, biodegradable and sustainable polymers, nanostructured polymer systems, polymer nanocomposites, and advanced polymerization techniques such as RAFT, ATRP, and ring-opening polymerization.
This session explores the rapidly evolving landscape of materials chemistry, focusing on the molecular-level understanding and engineering of materials with tailored properties. Discussions will cover nanomaterials, 2D materials, hybrid materials, functional inorganic/organic materials, and advanced composites.
