2010 Annual Meeting

Session: Polymer Reaction Engineering Kinetics & Catalysis I

This session will cover topics of current interest in polymerization kinetics, catalysis, and reaction engineering. Papers may include areas such as the chemistry of polymerization, polymer reactions and physical interactions, design of new catalysts for controlled polymerizations, and polymerizations in novel media and/or reactor configurations.
