Details of this event

Title: Polymers in Biomedicine

Date: 03.10.2010 - 05.10.2010

Location: Berlin

Host: Zentrum für Biomaterialentwicklung des Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht-Forschungzentrums Geesthacht, Berlin-Brandenburgischer Verband für Polymerforschung e.V, Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker

Inhalt

The versatility of polymeric materials originates from the broad variety in their chemical structure and in their hierarchical organisation as well as from the possibility to realize a wide spectrum of functions. Often such functions result from a combination of a molecular architecture/morphology with a physical process and therefore require integration in a suitable system (e.g. medical device, electric circuit) or environment (e.g. physiological environment). Frequently research in the area of functional polymers is motivated by applications.

This conference focuses on two application areas, in which polymer research as well as product development are progressing rapidly: Biomedicine and Electronics.
Here (multi)functional polymers are an enabling technology and in this way create substantial and sustainable value.

Topics

Topics of the conference cover the design and the synthesis of functional polymers, physical principles underlying the function, the characterization of such functions within a system as well as product-oriented industrial research. Smart biomaterials, biocompatible coatings and their applications in controlled drug delivery systems or in Regenerative Therapies will be discussed in the Biomedicine-oriented sessions of the conference. Photovoltaic, charge transport, light emission as well as sensors and actuators will be subjects in the area of Electronics.

The conference will consist of four plenary lectures, invited as well as contributed oral presentations and two comprehensive poster sessions with ten selected poster flash presentation. Younger scientists are especially encouraged to submit their papers.
