Abstract 

This lecture will reveal new polymeric materials designed in the speaker?s 
laboratory to feature ?smart? functionality. Following an introduction on 
shape memory polymers, several particular innovations will be discussed. 
First, new approaches to high-performance shape memory polymers using a 
composite approach will be revealed, including perspectives on applications 
and associated materials design. Second, new polymeric designs featuring 
self-healing and reversible adhesion characteristics in film and coating 
form will be presented. Finally, antimicrobial polymeric hydrogel 
nanocomposites will be presented with emphasis on features that engender a 
sustained antimicrobial effect. 


Como siempre, habrá vino y bocadillos al final del evento.
