"Computational Modeling of Polymer"

244th American Chemical Society National Meeting
Philadelphia on August 19 - 23, 2012.

 

Abstract and Preprint Deadline:  March 19, 2012

 

This symposium will cover a spectrum of topics on computational modeling of polymers.  A special invited session will focus on the Materials Genome Initiative as it relates to polymers and soft matter. 

 

Sessions are planned to include ab initio, molecular mechanics and dynamics, Monte Carlo, field theoretic, and mesoscale methods and their application to elucidating polymer behavior and properties for a variety of applications.  Both synthetic and biological polymers will be covered, as will polymer composites and nanocomposites. 

 

Experimental studies that closely couple and complement computational methods (or challenge them) are also welcome.

 

Confirmed Invited Speakers include (listed alphabetically):  Jan Andzelm, Anna Balazs, Rick Barto, August Bosse, Charles Brooks, Jim Caruthers, Julie Christodoulou, Kris Delaney, Steve Granick, Gary Grest, Marcus Mueller, William Goddard, Yuri Gogotsi, Venkat Ganesan, Aravinda Kini, David Landau, Erik Luijten, Monica Olvera de la Cruz, Doros Theodorou, Ken Schweizer, and Qiang "David" Wang.

 

All paper submitted to the Division of Polymer Chemistry require a Preprint and have to be submitted through the ACS submission site.

For instruction, visit the ACS or Division of Polymer Chemistry web sites.
