Macromolecules for Sustainability, Energy, and Medicine

The 2023 Polymers Gordon Research Conference (GRC) will assemble an international and diverse community of scholars from academia, industry, and national laboratories to highlight the most recent innovations related to polymer science and to discuss how key discoveries can generate new and exciting materials for current and next-generation applications. Petroleum-derivable and bio-derivable polymers will be discussed in numerous oral and poster presentations. Conference topics will focus on sustainability of natural and synthetic polymers; new methods for polymer synthesis and characterization; and new developments in polymers for energy, medicine, and advanced manufacturing applications. The Polymers GRC will provide various mechanisms for networking across professional levels through discussion sessions, coffee breaks, meals, recreational activities, and evening poster sessions. This conference will be preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), which will enable junior scientists to network and meet current leaders from academia, government, and industry. The most outstanding lecturers from the GRS will be highlighted during the GRS, and several GRS participants will be given the opportunity to participate in the GRC program. Combined, the Polymers GRS and GRC constitute an exciting, influential, and important collection of presentations at the cutting edge of polymer science.
