Preliminary Program subject to change
TF011 Nanoscale Structure in Polymers I: Nanostructured Polymeric Materials
OverviewWe invite papers that describe recent developments in synthesis, characterization and processing of nanostructured polymeric materials. Experimental papers describing the dynamics at the nanoscale are especially welcome. The nanostructured polymers could be multi-layered materials, polymer blends, block copolymers, or liquid-crystalline polymers.
