Scope:
Plastics, rubber and composites that are strong and tough are not only essential for accelerated implementation of autonomous, pollution-free electrical vehicles but also for the light-weight airplane and robot. These materials will impact all industries that use polymeric materials to achieve societal needs for safety, security and low environmental impact while keeping high quality of life. This symposium intends to draw researchers across the boundaries of chemistry, material science, physics, mechanics, and rheology to disseminate knowledge on recent breakthroughs in fundamental understanding and creation of tough and functional polymers for various applications. We solicit researchers from related scientific disciplines to present theoretical, experimental, and computational studies.
