Modeling and Simulation of Polymers I


Description:
This session focuses generally on simulation of polymeric materials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, development of new modeling and simulation techniques, application of modeling and simulation to provide insight into the properties and behavior of polymeric materials, and the development and use of multiscale techniques for polymeric materials. ***Note to faculty candidates: please include a note to the session chair during submission to alert them to your status***
