Flow chemistry is revolutionizing the way we design and study macromolecules, offering a powerful, complementary approach to materials discovery—one that seamlessly integrates with modern data-driven research.

Flow reactors hold the potential to transform polymerization with automation, high throughput, and AI-driven discovery. But transitioning from traditional batch synthesis to a flow-based system requires a deep understanding of fluid dynamics. Join Damien Guironnet of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as he breaks down these essential engineering principles and dispels common misconceptions about flow reactors, providing clarity on how they can be optimized for groundbreaking research.

Frank Leibfarth of North Carolina, Chapel Hill will explore the exciting opportunities and challenges of polymer synthesis in flow. Discover how fundamental fluid dynamics shape chemical reactions and learn how his lab is leveraging flow synthesis to develop high-performance medical imaging agents and advanced 3D-printable elastomers.

This ACS Webinar is moderated by Luke A. Baldwin of the Air Force Research Lab and co-produced with the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry.
