SUMMARY:Fire and Polymers - 2022
DESCRIPTION:“Fire and Polymers – 2022” to be held at the Embassy Suites\, Napa\, CA will bring together chemists\, material scientists\, and fire safety scientists to discuss the newest advances and unsolved problems in this multidisciplinary field of research.  This workshop covers applied chemistry\, chemical-focused materials science\, chemical structure-property relationships\, and fire safety science/engineering research and development topics.  This was previously a symposium offered every four years at various ACS national meetings\, but has outgrown a national meeting symposium format. \n\n\nObjectives\n\n\nThe objectives of this workshop are as follows: \n\n\nProvide state-of-the-art presentations on the current status of\, and recent advancements in\, flame retardancy of polymeric materials \n\n\nBring together leading research scientists and engineers in this field from around the world to foster networking and stimulate collaborative research.  New insights and new advances will be made through these connections. \n\n\nPromote better awareness of the utility of and opportunities for flame retardants in many applications to all participants (academic\, industrial\, and government).

SUMMARY:The 26th Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the ACS Green Chemistry Institute\nHeld in Reston\, Virginia and Online (fully hybrid meeting for speakers and attendees)\nLearn more\n\nHosted by the American Chemical Society’s Green Chemistry Institute (ACS GCI)\, the GC&E Conference is the longest-running global conference dedicated to green chemistry and engineering. The conference sessions span the breadth and depth of green and sustainable chemistry and engineering\, with a special focus on the 2022 theme Thinking in Systems: Designing for Sustainable Use. \nGC&E will be a hybrid event this year. Our in-person event will be held June 6-8\, 2022\, at the Hyatt Regency in Reston\, Virginia. All in-person attendees\, staff and exhibitors are required to be fully vaccinated at the time of the event. \nVirtual presenters and attendees will be able to participate in sessions through our virtual platform during the conference. In addition\, our GC&E Fridays leading up to the Conference week will kick off the conference with live sessions for all attendees.

SUMMARY:The Circular Economy of Polymers & Recycling Technologies: Inventing a Sustainable Future in Partnership with Nature
DESCRIPTION:Dr. John C. Warner\, Senior Vice President\, Chemistry\, Distinguished Research Fellow\, Zymergen Corporation \nA joint event of the Golden Gate Polymer Forum and ACS Silicon Valley Section\nThursday\, June 23\, 2022\, 6:00 PM.  Free/$5 donation.  Registration required by Wednesday\, June 22\, 2022\, at 1:00 PM.  When registering\, please indicate your primary affiliations:  GGPF\, ACS\, or both.  View and share flyer. \nAbstract:  \nThe natural world is a beautiful and intricate system of intertwined and overlapping materials ecosystems that co-emerged over 3.8 billion years in the presence of one another. The vast majority of industrial products and processes have developed relatively independent of each other\, not symbiotically as adjacent processes. This pattern of disconnection is not sustainable over the long run. The pathway to create technological ecosystems will require the inventive application of biomimicry and green chemistry – the molecular level mechanistic underpinnings of sustainability. This presentation will describe mechanisms in nature that we should consider when designing the human-built world. Illustrative examples of practical real world deployments will be presented. \n \nBio: \nJohn is a senior vice president of chemistry and distinguished research fellow at the Zymergen Corporation\, where they design and create commercial technologies inspired from nature consistent with the principles of green chemistry. \nWith over 300 patents\, he has invented solutions for dozens of multinational corporations\, and his inventions have served as the basis for several new companies. John is a cofounder of the field of green chemistry\, coauthoring the defining text and articulating 12 principles of green chemistry. He has been involved with foundational work in the fields of noncovalent derivatization\, polymer photochemistry\, metal oxide semiconductors\, and synthetic organic chemistry. John has received many prestigious international awards\, including: named by ICI Services as one of the most influential people impacting the global chemical industries; elected a Fellow of the American Chemical Society; named one of “25 Visionaries Changing the World” by Utne Reader; and in 2017 the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and The Technical University of Berlin announced “The John Warner Center for Green Chemistry Start-Ups” in his honor. He serves as Distinguished Professor of Green Chemistry at Monash University in Australia and as the Global Chair for the Center for Sustainable and Circular Technologies at the University of Bath. \nJohn received his BS in Chemistry from UMass Boston\, and his PhD in Chemistry from Princeton University. After working at the Polaroid Corporation for nearly a decade\, he served as tenured full professor at UMass Boston and Lowell in Chemistry and Plastics Engineering. In 2007\, along with Jim Babcock he founded the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry\, a research organization developing green chemistry technologies.  With Amy Cannon\, he founded Beyond Benign\, a non-profit dedicated to sustainability and green chemistry education. He now advises several international organizations and in 2020 began working with the Zymergen Corporation.
