Park and Veva Reilly Distinguished Webinar | Design of Polymeric Materials: Novel Functionalized Polymers for Enhanced Oil Recovery and Gas Sorption Applications, by Professor Alison Scott
Please join us to hear a webinar by Professor Alison Scott (PhD ‘19), winner of the 2020 Park and Veva Reilly ChE Medal for Proficiency in Research. She will discuss her work on a general framework for the design of polymeric materials, which maximizes experimental resources and optimizes the resulting polymer product’s suitability for its intended application. Professor Scott will discuss two distinct (yet related) case studies to demonstrate that the framework can be useful in many industries and applications and for any type of polymeric material.
