Join us for a webinar to learn about one of the cutting-edge applications of nanoscientific research:
Stimuli-Responsive Polymers
Join us for a series of lectures featuring materials sciences expert Professor Rigoberto Advincula of Case Western Reserve University! With considerable expertise in the design, synthesis and characterization of new polymers and nanoscale materials, Prof. Advincula has designed a series of lectures in order to share the latest developments in nanomaterials research in a variety of applications and fields.
Polymers capable of responding to field or gradient effects that include temperature, pH, light, pressure, etc. are considered to be stimuli responsive where the change can be reversible or irreversible. The resulting property give the polymer or the material the capability to be adaptable, self-healing and can assume unusual properties usually observed only in nature. For example, self-healing polymers or electrochromic systems are considered to be responsive polymers.
This talk gives an overview of these materials systems and how they may find practical applications in fluids, coatings, parts, etc.
 Presented by Prof. Rigoberto Advincula
Macromolecular Science & Engineering, Case Western Reserve University

TElectrochomic polymers
Electrocrhomic materials can reversibly change their color via electrochemical redox reactions triggered by bursts of charge. Here an optical lens using electrochromic polymers has turned from clear to dark.
