Macromolecular Materials From Synthesis to Application. Gordon Research Conference

The Macromolecular Materials Gordon Research Conference (formerly "Polymers West") has a long-standing tradition as a GRC that features a breadth of the most exciting and state-of-the-art aspects of macromolecules. This tradition will continue in the 2015 Conference and discussion of new macromolecules that are stimuli responsive and even made from sulfur will be highlighted. Macromolecular assemblies, biomaterials and even textiles will be considered. The invited speakers represent a variety of disciplines from chemistry, physics and engineering who will consider macromolecular material synthesis, processing, properties, characterization and theory and simulation. An emphasis of topics considered in this meeting will be rheological properties and processing of macromolecular materials.
