Internationales Symposium zu Microstructural Control in Free-Radical Polymerization Donnerstag, 25.11.2010
The symposium Microstructural Control in Free-Radical Polymerization will be held at the Clausthal University of Technology, Germany, from Sunday evening (October 5, 2008) until Wednesday (October 8, 2008). The focus of the European Graduate School (EGS) - organizer - is on research and graduate education covering all modern aspects and cutting-edge topics of radical polymerization.
Since its starting point in the year 2000, the EGS has
become an internationally recognized center of frontier
research into fundamental and application-oriented aspects
of radical polymerization. The research aspects focus on
controlled radical polymerization which offers a large
potential for the design of polymeric materials with
particular microstructure. A wide variety of free-radical
polymerization reactions is studied in homogeneous phase, in
suspension, in mini-emulsion, and in emulsion. Elementary
steps of free-radical homo- and copolymerization are studied
in great detail with particular interest in
diffusion-controlled steps. Also addressed are aspects of
reaction engineering, including polymerization in specialty
solvents (e.g., in supercritical CO2 and in ionic liquids),
modeling of polymerization kinetics, and polymer
characterization.
