Join us for a webinar to learn about one of the cutting-edge applications of nanoscientific research:
Polymers 101
Join us for a series of lectures featuring materials sciences expert Prof. Rigoberto Advincula of Case Western Reserve University! Our new series with Prof. Advincula aims to a beginner's friendly first foray into a new materials science field each month. By exploring the basics and fundamental science of each featured field, we hope to expand your appreciation for the research and engineering helping us craft the world of tomorrow by improving the one we live in today.
Our next entry in this series is focused on polymers. These large molecules, or macromolecules, have a myriad range of properties depending on their makeup and play an absolutely essential role in everyday life. Macromolecular science has given us insight into the nature of various biopolymers (nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and polyphenols) as well as the synthetic polymers seen in the various plastics and fibers ubiquitous throughout the world today.
Join us as Prof. Advincula surveys the field of polymer research and development and gives us a tour on how we work with these materials today, characterize their properties, and usher in next-generation technologies via the latest techniques in chemical, electrical, materials, and mechanical engineering.
