Biomacromolecular Gels Conference: AIChE Annual MeetingYear: 2017Proceeding: 2017 AIChE Annual MeetingGroup: Materials Engineering and Sciences Division Type: Oral Room: 211B Location: Minneapolis Convention Center Time: Tuesday, October 31, 2017 - 8:00am-10:30am Chair(s):Wang, M., Northwestern University Co-chair(s):Tang, C., Virginia Commonwealth UniversitySrivastava, S., University of Chicago This session will cover a broad assortment of topics within polymer science and chemical engineering, with the common theme of polymer networks, gels, and elastomers from biomacromolecules. Topics pertaining to network/gel/elastomer synthesis, structural characterization, physical properties, crosslinking/curing reactions and kinetics, processing, and other related subjects are appropriate. Presentations may include research in networks and elastomers, model polymer networks, chemical and physical gels, interpenetrating networks, and other lightly crosslinked materials. Papers presenting experimental results, simulations, and theoretical/modeling are equally welcome. ***Note to faculty candidates: please include a note to the session chair during submission to alert them to your status*** +++Note: this session will be sorted jointly with Polymer Networks and Gels. Authors may submit to either session.+++ Papers: 8:00 AM(265a) Allyl-Sulfide Modified Hydrogels with Switchable Properties As Dynamic Cellular NichesKristi S. AnsethTobin E.
