Thermodynamics of Polymers

Tuesday, October 18, 2011: 3:15 PM
L100 C (Minneapolis Convention Center)

Description:
This session invites contributions associated with the thermodynamics of polymeric systems such as solutions, blends, block and random copolymers, networks, gels, polyelectrolyte solutions, and ionomers. We accept experimental, theoretical, and simulation-based explorations in any area related to the thermodynamics and phase equilibria of polymers.
