This event will explore how chemical design, from molecules to macromolecules, is transforming metals and minerals
Hosted by the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Enabling Eco-Efficient Beneficiation of Minerals (COEMinerals), this symposium celebrates the outstanding scientific contributions of Professor San H. Thang to polymer science and explores how precision polymer chemistry is transforming materials design for metals and minerals. The event will bring together researchers from polymer chemistry, materials science and mineral processing. World leading plenary speakers will present an international program spanning polymer fundamentals, biopolymers and biomolecules, applications and industry impact.
This two-day symposium will focus on the following themes:
- Polymer Fundamentals
- Biopolymers
- Industry Session
- Applications
