The Gordon Research Seminar on Macromolecular Materials is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas. The focus of this meeting is to provide an environment where young researchers can openly discuss the forefront of polymer science and develop new collaborations, ideas, and colleagues. The topics covered in this Macromolecular Materials GRS will be interdisciplinary in nature, and cover emerging areas of polymer engineering, physics, and chemistry.
