721 Mechanics and Structure in Polymers


Description:
This session seeks papers covering both experimental and theoretical aspects of polymers, with a focus on relating dynamics, structure, processsing, and mechanics of homopolymers in their glassy, amorphous or semi-crystalline state. We additionally seek papers covering both experimental and theoretical aspects of polymers, with a focus on relating dynamics, structure, processing, and mechanics of blends, copolymers, gels, and polymer composites. ***Note to faculty candidates: please include a note to the session chair during submission to alert them to your status*** +++Note: this session will be sorted jointly with Structure and Properties in Polymers. Authors may submit to either session.+++
