Session: Charged and Ion-Containing Polymers I: Polyelectrolyte Complexation and Coacervation

Submissions are invited concerning the synthesis, properties, engineering fundamentals, simulation and modeling, and novel applications of macromolecules and polymeric materials that are charged or contain ionizable species. Topics of interest include but are not limited to, polyelectrolyte solutions, blends and melts, polyelectrolyte complexes, ionic polymers and gels, ionomers, and stimuli-responsive materials. ***Note to faculty candidates: please include a note to the session chair during submission to alert them to your status***
