Polymers (08a)

#322 - Structure and Properties of Polymers III: Networks and Gels (08A03)
This session welcomes contributions from all areas of polymer networks, gels, and microgels. Relevant topics include synthesis, morphological characterization, and properties of such structures and their applications in the chemical, petroleum, and materials industries. Papers describing novel research on stimuli sensitive gels/microgels for biomedical applications are also welcome. Presentations may include experimental data and/or theoretical/modeling results.
