Selected papers from the 102nd Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition, June 3-7, Quebec City, Canada

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The annual Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition brings together Canadian and international colleagues working in chemistry, materials science, engineering, and related disciplines to discuss and exchange their latest exciting research developments and to build new networks and collaborations. Academic researchers, students, and colleagues working in industry and government are key participants in this meeting.

The Macromolecular Science and Engineering Division programming for the 2019 meeting spans an exciting array of topics ranging from polymers for energy and electronic applications to polymers for biotechnology and biomedical areas, and is organized in collaboration with the Materials Chemistry Division and the Biological and Medicinal Chemistry Division.

The topics include but are not limited to the following:

- Polymers for biotechnology and medicine;
- Polymeric coatings;
- Advances in metal-catalyzed polymerization techniques;
- Stimuli-responsive materials and interfaces;
- Green approaches for pi-electron functional materials;
- Innovative concepts in organic materials—building blocks, self-assembly, and nanostructures;
- Materials for flexible and printed electronics;
- Progress in polysaccharide characterization and chemical modification.
