Polymers might solve everything | Dr. Austin Evans

from Ask a Scientist Hosted by Jai Subramanian

Hello again! Today I’m joined by Professor Austin Evans, a synthetic inorganic researcher at UF studying polymers and how they apply to pretty much everything. He enlightened us on how polymers, usually insulating materials, can become thermally conductive. Additionally we discussed polymeric roles in harnessing light energy and filtering molecules. Polymers are the future and Dr. Evans is here to tell us about it. I hope you all enjoy! This is a public episode.
