Synopsis
This second Functional Polymeric Materials conference seeks to bring together leaders from across the field of polymer chemistry, and will include experts in the development of new methodologies, novel applications and will include both fundamental and materials aspects of polymer science. Topics will include new innovations in polymer synthesis and functionalization, with particular focus on structure-property relationships. Applications will also be covered in the areas of drug delivery, smart biomaterials, complex sensing systems, and bioinspired polymeric materials with functionalities that relate to the organization and interactions of their building blocks.
The symposium has invited and contributed talks and posters from scientists from across chemical and materials science disciplines. We believe this blending of people interested in the concepts, rather than specific disciplines, will provide for an enlightening and vibrant multi-day conference.
Key Sessions:
Academics from inorganic, organic, and biological polymeric materials backgrounds will be represented. A broad range of topics will be covered, including:
- stimuli-responsive materials
- stimuli-responsive soft matter
- stimuli-responsive hybrid/composite materials
- molecular motors
- swimmers
- biomolecular self-assembly
- dissipative / fueled self-assembly
- bioinspired materials
- catalysis
- synthetic methodology
- catalytic self-assembly
- activated catalysis at surfaces and interfaces
- nanoparticle assemblies
- multi-component systems
- organized assemblies
- self-replicating molecular systems
- self-sorting molecular systems
- enzyme responsive materials
- non-equlibrium self-assembly
- translational applications in biomedicine
- translational applications in detection systems
- translational applications in nanotechnology

Location
Ascot is based in east Berkshire, England, about 25 miles (40 km) west of London. It is most notable as the location of Ascot Racecourse, home of the prestigious Royal Ascot meeting. Nearby attractions include Windsor Castle. Windsor Castle, the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world, is one of the official residences of Her Majesty The Queen and is just a 20 minute drive away. Also in close proximity to the hotel are The Royal Botanic Gardens. Founded in 1759, and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003 the Royal Gardens at Kew are world leaders in plant science and conservation.
