2018 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Bio-Based Polymers

This session will focus on macromolecules generated from bio-based and bio-renewable sources. The design, synthesis, characterization, and application of these bio-based polymers will be stressed. Theoretical, computational, and experimental papers are welcome. ***Note to faculty candidates: please include a note to the session chair during submission to alert them to your status***
