POLY Symposium

Non-conventional functional block copolymers
ACS National Meeting,

March 21-25, 2010, San Francisco.

A symposium entitled "Non-conventional functional block copolymers" will be held at the 239th American Chemical Society National Meeting in San Francisco on March 21-25, 2010.

This symposium will address recent developments in the synthesis, characterization and application of block copolymers that are of non-conventional nature. This includes: (i) rod-coil block copolymers, (ii) organic-inorganic block copolymers, (iii) stimuli-responsive block copolymers, (iv) degradable block copolymers, (v) orthogonal reactive block copolymers, (vi) orthogonal synthesis of block copolymers, and (vii) multiblock copolymers.

The interdisciplinary use of block copolymers will be strongly emphasized during the symposium and we kindly invite you to participate in the promotion of non-conventional functional block copolymers for future applications.

Confirmed Invited Speakers:

1) Prof. Dr. Andreas Herrmann (University of Groningen, NL)

2) Prof. Dr. Axel Müller (Universität Bayreuth, D)

3) Prof. Dr. Timothy J. Deming (University of California, Los Angeles, USA)

4) Prof. Dr. David M. Haddleton (University of Warwick, UK)
