Preliminary Program subject to change
08A12 Combinatorial Methods in Polymer Science
OverviewWe invite contributions covering discovery or development-based combinatorial research on polymers. This may include development of novel instrumentation, models, informatics, as well as applications to a wide range of different chemistries. We particularly encourage applications of combinatorial and high-throughput methods in areas related to energy, catalysis, and biotechnology/biomedicine.
