Polymers and the Future
Type: Presentation
Description:
Polymeric materials are functional and structural elements for a wide variety of fields. The past decade saw a burst of development of polymer science and technology. In this presentation, we provide an introduction to the roles polymeric materials have been playing in addressing challenges in energy, health, the automotive and aerospace industries, advanced coatings and intelligent packaging, and the separation and purification. In the end, we highlight severe environmental issues brought up by synthetic polymers and call for attention and solutions from the general public.
