Division/Committee: [PMSE: Division of Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering] [POLY: Division of Polymer Chemistry]

(FINANCIAL CO-SPONSORS: Washington University McKelvey Engineering) This symposium focuses on polymers used for energy-related applications, sustainable or bio-based polymers, and the intersection of these two themes. The development of a green economy that operates with both clean energy and materials circularity is a multifaceted challenge. The symposium aims to foster collaboration and idea sharing between energy-focused and sustainability-focused researchers, encouraging energy-focused researchers to think about how to design their materials sustainably and encouraging sustainability-focused researchers to consider how recyclable or biobased materials could be employed in batteries, membranes, or other energy-related applications. Presentation topics can be either energy or sustainability focused, but preference will be given to speakers who show interest in the intersection of energy and sustainable materials design.
