750 Structure and Properties in Polymers

Thursday, November 17, 2016: 3:15 PM - 5:45 PM
Golden Gate 5 (Hilton San Francisco Union Square)
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: this session will be sorted jointly with Mechanics and Structure in Polymers. Authors may submit to either session.+++
