ChemExpo 2024
San Diego Miramar College 10440 Black Mountain Road, San Diego, CA, United StatesSan Diego ACS will hold their annual event to promote the value of chemistry in everyday life. The goal is to help our community to explore and understand how photography has evolved through the years. Together, we will learn more about how light is captured to give us images from the first days of photography to today's modern digital images and the important role chemistry plays in this creative field.

Graduate Student Symposium – ACS Spring 2025
Bonds That Matter: Soft Materials for a Sustainable World
Soft materials (such as polymers, gels, colloids, and liquid crystals) are composed of relatively large organic molecules governed by weak interactions. These materials display unique properties that render themselves useful to a variety of industries, such as textiles, electronics, packaging, and biomedical devices. As an increasing number of materials are commercialized, sustainability has become an important consideration. Life cycle assessments (LCAs) are often used to evaluate the sustainability of a material from a multitude of angles such as its feedstocks, synthesis, byproducts, processability, recyclability, degradation, sustainability, and environmental impact. Unfortunately, sustainable materials often underperform compared to market standards, which limits their commercial adoption, but this gap is shrinking through cutting edge endeavors spearheaded by academic and industrial researchers.
The focus of the symposium is the production of high performance, sustainable soft matter and its role in achieving a circular economy. Specifically, the symposium will have two themes: 1) processing, recycling, and upcycling, and 2) biomass valorization and sustainable feedstocks.
