Dr. Brian Long, from The University of Tennessee, will be presenting a seminar titled, "Accessing Tailored Polyolefins and Gas Separation Membranes via Coordination Polymerization Methods." ABSTRACT:       Coordination-insertion based polymerization methods provide a multitude of opportunities for enhanced control over catalytic activity, selectivity, and reactivity. Through tailored catalyst development and macromolecular design, the Long Research Group leverages these advantages to synthesize unique and/or tailored polymeric structures for a variety of applications. In this talk, we will demonstrate the potential power of [...]
