Polymer Networks and Gels I

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, and theoretical/modeling are equally welcome. ***Note to faculty candidates: please include a note to the session chair during submission to alert them to your status***+++Note: this session will be sorted jointly with “Particulate and Multiphase Flows: Colloidal and Polymers.” Authors whose work falls under the scope of both sessions may submit to either.+++
