Smart polymer materials & hybrid systems
Stimuli-responsive polymer materials can adapt to surrounding environments, regulate transport of ions and molecules, change wettability and adhesion of different species upon external stimuli, or convert chemical and biochemical signals into optical, electrical, thermal, and mechanical signals and vice versa. These materials have played an increasingly important role in a diverse range of applications, such as drug delivery, diagnostic, tissue engineering, and “smart” optical systems, as well as biosensors, microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS), coatings, and textiles. The symposium aims to review recent advances in stimuli responsive functional thin polymer films and micro-/nano-patterned thin films, polymer brushes, membranes with functional and responsive channels, functional networks/hydrogels with controllable swelling/permeability, microfludic responsive channels, responsive polymeric and composite nanoparticles and their dispersions, responsive polymeric systems coupled with quantum dots, plasmonic, photonic devices and electrochemical processes, and applications of the responsive polymeric systems for sensors, “intelligent” materials, micro-actuators, delivery capsules, systems with tunable and switchable release, separation, permeability and interactions, responsive systems integrated with biomacromolecules and scaffolds for cell research and tissue engineering.
This session will take place on Thursday, June 3rd in Kellas 105.
