Scope:
The scope covers functional polymers and composites dealing with new ideas and developments in the science and technology of advanced polymers with functional groups that provide specific chemical reactivity and possess novel physical behavior. This symposium will focus on “Novel and Advanced Functional Polymers and Composites” for electronic, energy, and bio-technology applications, as well as the studies which advance the understanding of self-assembled behavior and electrically, optically, and mechanically responsive phenomena in the area of polymers and composites. Papers are solicited on the fundamental and applied aspects of all types of advanced functional polymers and composites.
Topics:
1. Functional polymers for chemo- and bio-sensor applications
2. Functional polymers for flexible electronic applications
3. Functional polymers for solar cell applications
4. Functional polymers for bio-technology applications
5. Self-assembled and responsive behavior of functional polymers
6. Functional polymers and composites for electro-optical and other applications
