Polymer Stimuli-Responsive Polymeric Films and Coatings Webcast Course  
Course Code: SPWEB  
::
Course Information
Current advances in polymer chemistry and polymeric coatings have resulted in a rapid development of a new area of “smart” materials and polymers. They play the most significant role due to their resemblance to biological systems and numerous research efforts focused on mimicking the bio-world. This course will give you an advanced understanding of the creation, design, and use of these intelligent polymeric materials.
