(650e) Elucidating the Impact of Dispersity on the Performance of Multifunctional Polymers

The properties and functions of multifunctional are dictated by their molecular weight, chemical composition, and molecular architecture.
Variations in each of these structural parameters during polymerization contribute to diverse range of mixtures within a polymer sample, and therefore the batch-to-batch variation in multifunctional polymers remains a significant concern in advanced technologies.
In this talk, the impact of controlling polymer dispersity to design new materials and tune their properties will be discussed.
