2010 Annual Meeting

Session: Charged and Ion-Containing Polymers

Submissions are invited concerning preparation, properties, engineering fundamentals, simulation and modeling, and novel applications of macromolecules and polymeric materials that are charged or contain ionic species. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, ionic polymers and gels, biopolymers, and stimuli-responsive materials.
