RSC Mechanochemistry was delighted to sponsor three poster prizes at the recent Mechanics of Bond Breaking: from Single Molecules to Polymer Networks conference in Brussels. The event, which brought together researchers from across polymer chemistry, soft matter science and mechanochemistry, saw leaders in the field of covalent adaptable networks and vitrimers, facture behaviour, mechanochemistry, polymer networks, self-healing materials, single molecule force spectroscopy and supramolecular materials share their latest research in this area
RSC Mechanochemistry sponsored three poster prizes, which the judges awarded to:
David Capagna (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany) – Post-fabrication reconfiguration of functional crosslinking segments in polymer gels
Regina Lennarz (Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Germany) – MUPSI: a method for uniaxial pressure simulations on molecular systems
Iryna Yakushko (University of Lyon, France) – Reversible mechanochemistry: polarimetry study of polymers containing chiral molecules
Congratulations to all winners!
