SUMMARY:Chemistry and the Economy: Looking forward to 2024?
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars\, ACS Industry Member Programs\, and ACS Division of Business Development and Management\n10:00-11:00am\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nA year that began with conflict in Europe and has now seen it expand to the Middle East continues to cause reverberations through various markets. Meanwhile\, companies are taking sides on making greener investments or sticking to business as usual as the climate crisis continues to worsen. How will the chemical economy adapt in 2024 as the delta between supply and demand continues to grow amid these and other worldwide economic\, environmental\, and geopolitical challenges? \n\n\n\nJoin Paul Hodges of New Normal Consulting and Bill Carroll of Carroll Applied Science as they share data and their observations on what is affecting the chemical economy\, what tough decisions lie ahead\, and predict the factors that will shape industry in the near future. \nThis ACS Webinar is co-produced with ACS Industry Member Programs and ACS Division of Business Development and Management. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nExamining the current state of the auto industry and how it can help explain what is in store for other industries\nA look at the Q3 financial reports and why most analysts are not expecting any improvement in the coming year\nHow years of stimulus in Japan have put its economy in a precarious situation\, and what that could mean for the global market\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nWednesday\, December 6\, 2023 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available on the day of the Live event

SUMMARY:Breaking Down the Mechanics of Polymers: From Networks to Viscoelasticity
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Division of Polymeric Materials: Science & Engineering (PMSE)\n11am-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nWhen designing polymers to achieve desired characteristics\, such as toughness\, elasticity\, and resilience\, you must not only consider the type of polymer\, but also the mechanics of its macromolecular architecture. \n\n\n\nSergei Sheiko of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will first delve into the nuanced properties of polymer networks\, including their modulus\, strain-stiffening behavior\, and swelling tendencies\, all of which are intricately linked to the network’s architectural configuration. Then\, Adrianne Rosales of the University of Texas at Austin\, will underscore the significance of viscoelasticity – a phenomenon embodying both solid and liquid properties. She will also elucidate the mechanical characterization of viscoelastic materials\, employing shear oscillatory rheology techniques in both the linear and nonlinear regions. \nRegister now to gain a deeper understanding of the intricate world of polymer mechanics and its impact on material behavior. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Michael Silverstein of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and co-produced with the ACS Division of Polymeric Materials: Science & Engineering (PMSE). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nThe elastic responses of elastomers and gels\nNetwork architecture: Decoupling softness\, firmness\, and swelling ratio\nThe forensics of polymer networks: Deciphering the network structure from its nonlinear elastic response\nCharacterizing the storage and loss moduli using shear rheology\nCharacterizing stress relaxation in viscoelastic polymers\nRheological characterization: The differences between “linear” and “nonlinear”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nWednesday\, December 13\, 2023 @ 2-3:30pm ET\nFree to register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available on the day of the Live event
