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

This symposium is in honor of Stephen J. Clarson who was active in the PMSE and POLY divisions of ACS focusing on Nanotechnology of Si-based polymers, biopolymers and biomedical materials including silicone, silane, siloxane, and silica chemistry and composites. Clarson organized fourteen ACS symposia including two successful series of symposia on Silicones and Silicone-Modified Materials (I to VII from 1998-2015) and Synthetic and Biological Macromolecules for Emerging Nanotechnologies (I to IV from 2005-2016). He also edited five associated books for the ACS in these areas. The symposium will bring together these topics and related areas of biosilica, and magnesiothermic reduction of silica for lithium-ion battery anodes.
