PMSE Symposium Title: Design Principles of Functional Macromolecular Materials. Section II,A,2.a.
Abstract
Functional macromolecular materials comprise diverse classes of organic, inorganic, and hybrid structures that collectively give rise to numerous capabilities. These include energy transduction, shape memory and actuation, triggered release of therapeutics, self-sensing and repair, and analyte detection. Our ability to design, access, and modulate such diverse functions requires both a fundamental understanding of the principles governing the intermolecular interactions within materials, reactivity of constituent components, and synthetic ability to realize their production and evaluation. This proposal supported a symposium that was held at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society within the Division of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering. The symposium was entitled Design Principles of Functional Macromolecular Materials and featured seminars from experts at various career stages spanning research in academic institutions, national labs, and industry.
