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

Photochemical processes controlling polymer formation, structure, and properties comprise a broad and evolving field of interdisciplinary research. Development of novel photocatalysts and resins are expanding the portfolio of material platforms while advancements in light-based additive manufacturing platforms facilitate the processing of new material architectures. The growth of this field is driving interest in spatiotemporal control of multi-phase materials and technique development for characterizing photo-responsive polymer properties and behavior. This symposium will bring together polymer chemists and material scientists with overlapping interests in light-based processing and actuation of soft materials.
