Educational Workshop in Polymer Sciences 2020+
-
Melissa Chan Chin Han
This interactive educational workshop on polymers for applications was organized for the first time using a virtual format in conjunction with MACRO2020+, Jeju Island. It was the fourth in a projected series of four workshops, covering synthesis, characterization, processing, and applications of polymers. All three lectures touched on the understanding of the basic science, terms and concepts that are critical to polymers for applications from designing the polymers for industrial applications. Thought-provoking insights into the optimization of molecular structures in relation to the properties and the potential / commercial applications were presented. Since MACRO2020+ was a hybrid conference, the pre-recorded educational workshop was structured. The participants left comments / questions on the workshop webpage and the instructors provided response on the webpage throughout the MACRO2020+ conference.
All lecture notes and videos are accessible from https://iupac.org/project/2019-022-1-400
