| Abstract | With the support of the Macromolecular, Supramolecular and Nanochemistry Program in the Chemistry Section, Professor Cedric Schaack of Wake Forest University will develop a new class of smart plastics that can controllably change color and electrical properties. These materials will respond to chemical signals by shifting from transparent to deeply colored, while also switching from electrical insulators to conductors. The key innovation lies in incorporating special building blocks called allen |
