Session: Polymer Networks and Gels I: Renewable Chemistries, Reprocessing & Failure Mechanisms

This session will cover the chemistry, physics, and engineering of polymer networks, gels, elastomers, and crosslinked systems. Topics pertaining to network synthesis, structural characterization, physical properties, crosslinking/curing reactions and kinetics, processing, and other related subjects are appropriate. Papers presenting experimental results, simulations, theoretical/modeling and applications are equally welcome. ***Note to faculty candidates: please include a note to the session chair during submission to alert them to your status***
