Two consecutive sessions offering complete coverage of developments in one of chemistry's most dynamic fields!
Advances in Polymer Chemistry SYNTHETIC POLYMER CHEMISTRY MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 28-30,1986
POLYMERIC MATERIALS THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NOON, MAY 1-3,1986
University of Akron, Akron, Ohio A full week of cutting-edge developments in Polymer Chemistry as taught by twenty-one of the nation's foremost authorities. Synthetic Polymer Chemistry covers techniques for making the polymers you want, describes new methods to enable you to control structures more precisely than ever before, shows you how to create unique new structures. Polymeric Materials covers characterization, processing, and evaluation of the properties of polymers for specific uses. Attend both courses for a 514-day, in-depth session covering a wide range of practical, innovative, cost-effective applications of polymer chemistry. Attend either course and master sophisticated innovations in ever-expanding areas. In the Synthetic Polymer Chemistry course you will learn how polymer experts: Simulate polymerization processes by computer. Apply anionic and cationic polymerization in controlled synthesis of block and star branched polymers, macromonomers, and end reactive polymers. Control elementary polymerization events using cationic techniques. Prepare unique new polymers with condensation polymerization. Select for regio- and stereo-chemistry of products via condensation polymerization. Increase possibilities of polymers available from methacrylates and acrylates via group transfer polymerization. Apply polymers to biomedical uses. Synthesize significant block and graft copolymers. In the Polymeric Materials course you will learn how leading experts: Determine effects of crystallite structure and morphology on the macroscopic properties of polymers. Apply electronic properties of polymers in new and emerging commercial fields. Compare theory and experiment to understand unusual filled systems of elastomers. Use radiation sensitive polymer properties in industrial applications such as photoresists and optical resists. Develop high temperature thermoset resins for use in severe environments. Examine at high temperature structural ceramics in fibers, foams, and coatings. Achieve most efficient and appropriate processing systems for particular polymer systems.
