Polymers (08a)

#232 - Polymer Thermodynamics I (08A04)
This session focuses on the thermodynamics of polymer systems such as solutions, blends, block and random copolymers, polymers with complex architectures, networks, gels, charged polymers, etc. We accept experimental, theoretical, and molecular-based simulation contributions.
