551 Polymer Thermodynamics and Self-Assembly: Predicting Properties

Wednesday, November 18, 2020: 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
Materials Engineering and Sciences Division (08) (PreRecorded+)

Description:
This session invites experimental, theoretical, and simulation-based contributions focused on thermodynamic equilibrium-driven phase separation processes in polymers that result in self-assembly on the nano- and micro-scale. Topics may include but are not limited to block copolymers, polymer blends, solution assemblies, and characterization of inter- and intra-molecular interactions leading to self-assembly. ***Note to faculty candidates: please include a note to the session chair during submission to alert them to your status***
