Devin Grabner and Dr. Brian Collins both attended and presented at the 2022 Polymer Physics GRC held at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, MA. The Polymer Physics GRC is designed to highlight new unpublished developments in core areas of polymer physics, including macromolecular self-assembly, networks and characterization tools. This conference is held every other year with limited attendance, and this year only 200 out of over 300 applicants were accepted to attend and present.
Devin Grabner presented his poster on “Label-Free Anionic Polysoap Characterization & Dynamics via In-Situ Liquid Resonant Soft X-ray Scattering.”
Dr. Brian Collins was an invited speaker, and the title of his talk was “Resonant X-rays for Label-Free Spatiochemical Analyses of Polymer Nanostructures and Devices.”
While in Massachusetts, Dr. Collins and Devin also had the opportunity to visit Xenocs and see their assembly facility, including the SAXS/WAXS instrument currently being built for Washington State University.
