Although synthetic polymers are indispensable in a div erse array of applications\, ranging from commodity packaging and structur al materials to technologically complex biomedical and electronic devices\ , their synthesis and disposal pose important environmental challenges. Th e focus of our research is the development of sustainable routes to polyme rs that have reduced environmental impact. This lecture will focus on our research to transition from fossil fuels to renewable resources for polyme r synthesis\, as well as the development of polymeric materials designed t o bring positive benefits to the environment.\n DTSTART:20180918T170000Z DTEND:20180918T183000Z LOCATION:Room 10\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8\ , 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Allan Hay Memorial Lecture: Geoffrey Coates - New Methods for the S ynthesis of Sustainable Polymers URL:/chemistry/channels/event/allan-hay-memorial-lectu re-geoffrey-coates-new-methods-synthesis-sustainable-polymers-289263 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
