Content overview

In this presentation, Dr. Blair Brettmann - Associate Professor in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech - shares insights into her research with the Crystal16.

The solubility of polymers is critical in many synthesis, purification, coating and self-assembly processes, and the control over polymer miscibility is fundamental to the design of novel materials across many applications. More interestingly, the kinetics of dissolution and precipitation, which are often neglected by theories, are crucial to the development and understanding of nearly all processes involving polymer solutions.

This presentaton discusses features of polymer dissolution and precipitation, including upper critical solution temperature, lower critical solution temperature and kinetics and examine how the Crystal16 can improve our understanding of polymer/solvent phase behavior.

This presentation was presented during the webinar Polymer solubility and precipitation kinetics with the Crystal16.
