Description:
This session seeks papers covering both experimental and theoretical aspects of polymers, with a focus on relating dynamics, structure, processsing, and properties of homopolymers in their glassy, amorphous or semi-crystalline state. We additionally seek papers covering both experimental and theoretical aspects of polymers, with a focus on relating dynamics, structure, processing, and properties of blends and copolymers. ***Note to faculty candidates: please include a note to the session chair during submission to alert them to your status*** +++ Note that all submissions will be to part I and will be sorted APS style to improve the cohesiveness of the sessions +++
