Department Seminar
Upcoming Seminar
Fundamental Studies of Microporous Polymers and their Applications in Biomedicine
Dr. James Bour, Wayne State University
April 9, 2025
4:00pm-5:00pm in HSCI-105
Microporosity plays a crucial role in determining the performance of polymers in gas capture and release applications. However, beyond monomer structure, the factors influencing microporosity remain poorly understood, posing a challenge to the rational design and optimization of these materials. This presentation explores how synthetic strategies influence microporosity and highlights the potential of highly microporous polymers to enhance biomedical applications involving medical gas generation.
Seminars are held on Wednesdays at 4:00pm. All are invited to attend.
