Making New Materials out of Stubborn Monomers: Approaches to Precise, Chemically Recyclable, and Stimuli-Responsive Polymers Professor Justin Kennemur from Florida State University will present a seminar. Making New Materials out of Stubborn Monomers: Approaches to Precise, Chemically Recyclable, and Stimuli-Responsive Polymers. Abstract: A launch-point for potentially transformative materials is the synthetic design of polymer microstructures capable of offering precise and unique branch periodicities outside of those provided by traditional monomers and methods. The concept of using low ring strain cycloolefin [...]
