Track Categories
The track category is the heading under which your abstract will be reviewed and later published in the conference printed matters if accepted. During the submission process, you will be asked to select one track category for your abstract.
Polymerisation is the chemical process of thousands of monomers joining together to form polymers or polymeric compound. Usually it takes thousands of monomers to make a single polymer. Addition polymerisation is the type of polymerisation reaction that occurs when you take the monomers and simply add them together. There are two basic types of polymerisation. They are step-growth polymerisation and chain-growth polymerisation.
Researchers working in chemical synthesis are under increasing pressure to discover and develop innovative pathways and robust chemical processes as quickly as possible. The scope of Polymer Chemistry extends from oligomers with only a few repeating units to very long chain polymers with thousands or millions of repeating units Polymerization and modification reactions can be employed to produce designer polymers as new materials with practically any desired properties.
Polymers is used in day to day life floor coverings, garbage disposal bags, and packaging are other polymer applications. Automobile parts, windshields for fighter planes, pipes, tanks, packing materials, insulation, wood substitutes, adhesives, matrix for composites, and elastomers are all polymer applications used in the industrial market. Each industry has standards relevant to polymer applications. Our polymer application engineers and scientists possess the specialist industry knowledge which can bring you the insight you need to solve problems, progress product development, ensure compliance and achieve a successful market launch for the industries.
Polymer engineering is generally an engineering field that designs, analyses, or modifies polymer materials. Polymer engineering covers aspects of the petrochemical industry, polymerization, structure and characterization of polymers, properties of polymers, compounding and processing of polymers and description of major polymers, structure property relations and applications. The main scope polymer engineering is to increase the polymer testing for plastics their composites are still increasing rapidly due to their below average cost and ease of manufacture.
Polymer physics is the field of physics that studies polymers, their functions, mechanical properties, as well as the kinetics of reactions involving degradation and polymerisation of polymers and monomers. Polymers are large molecules and thus are very complicated for solving a deterministic method. It mainly focuses on the perspective of condensed matter physics.
Polymer molecules are huge, macromolecules that have internal covalent bonds. For most polymers, these molecules form very long chains. The backbone is a string of carbon atoms, often single bonded. Polymers are composed of basic structures called mer units. A molecule with just one mer is a monomer. Copolymers are polymers composed of two or more different types of monomers.
Functional polymers are macromolecules to which chemically bound functional groups are attached which can be utilized as reagents, catalysts, protecting groups, etc The. properties of such materials are often determined by the presence of chemical. functional groups that are dissimilar to those of the backbone chains. Functional polymers have low cost, ease to process and a range of attractive mechanical characteristics for functional organic molecules.
Synthetic polymers are human-made polymers. From the utility point of view, they can be classified into four main categories: thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers and synthetic fibres. They are found commonly in a variety of consumer products such as money, glue, etc. Polymers are durable, lightweight, easy, and cheap to make. They are also very recyclable. Many clothing items are made from synthetic polymers, and all plastics are made from synthetic polymers.
Polymeric nanoparticles have a matrix architecture composed of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers of synthetic or natural origin. The most widely used synthetic polymers are polylactide, polylactide–polyglycolide copolymers, polycaprolactones, and polyacrylates. Lactide–glycoside copolymer is an extensively explored copolymer. Among the various natural polymers, alginate, albumin, or chitosan have been widely explored.
Biodegradable polymers are a special class of polymer that breaks down after its intended purpose by bacterial decomposition process to result in natural by-products such as gases water, biomass, and inorganic salts.
Non- Biodegradable polymers are solid substances that are made up of long carbon chains with strong chemical bonds between the atoms and hence are harder to be broken down by microbes.
