Polymer Synthesis
Educational workshop in Polymer Sciences 2022, in conjunction with MACRO2022

MACRO2022 Educational Workshop and the meet-the-instructor session
This interactive educational workshop on polymers for synthesis was organized in the format of an in-person meeting in conjunction with MACRO2022 in Winnipeg, Canada on 17 July 2022.. It was the first in a projected series of four workshops, covering respectively: 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 polymer synthesis related to chain-growth polymerization with a particular emphasis on polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). Thought-provoking insights into the experimental design, modeling/simulation, and synthesis using artificial intelligence; coupled with the results and discussion of research were presented. Since MACRO2022 was the first in-person conference after the COVID-19 pandemic, three lectures were provided in the presence of approximately 50 on-site participants. Three instructors and many participants actively interacted with each other during the workshop Q&A and the meet-the-instructor sessions, while the pre-uploaded lecture notes are available at the conference website as well as the IUPAC project webpage.
