Polymer Chemistry and Materials webinar series

Polymeric materials constitute integral parts of our modern daily lives as evident in their numerous applications from plastics, buildings to semiconductors. In IMRE, we continue to anchor our efforts in the future of polymeric materials and therefore strive for continual technological breakthroughs in polymer science. The Polymer Chemistry and Materials Webinar Series was launched as part of such effort to (1) raise awareness of and reinforce the importance of polymer science, (2) to keep updated on the latest advances in polymer research breakthroughs, as well as (3) to foster understanding and collaborative spirit in the local as well as global scientific community in collectively advancing research in polymer science. The speakers presented on a plethora of topics in polymer science, ranging from novel techniques to design and synthesize functional polymers, the recycling of plastics through degradable polymers, synthetic biology, 3D printing of polymeric materials as well as machine-learning and automation in polymer design and synthesis.
