Kristen Reese of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will then present a rapid, direct-MS method to identify polymers, additives, and contaminants in food contact materials.
The third talk, by Yadwinder Sigh Mann of the University of the Pacific, will address enhanced sequence coverage in peptoids with the addition of Li and Na metal ions.
Addie Keating-Zaid will then discuss a solvent-free technique for studying the structure, bonding, and reactions of chlorophosphazenes, a class of inorganic polymers, used widely in fire-resistant chemicals, fuel cells, and semiconductor materials, which consist of highly reactive repeat units.
The session will wrap up with a roundtable discussion about synthetic polymers, from 4:10 to 4:30 pm.
