Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of Alberta
$200,000.00
Canada Research Chair in Advanced Polymer Reaction Engineering
FY 2023-24
Summary
The focus of this research is to quantify how the properties of polymers are related
to their molecular architectures using statistical methods. Canada and the rest of the
world has much to gain by understanding how to make better polymers, particularly
now when sustainability and environmental preservation are everyone¿s concern.
Modern life without polymers is inconceivable: they are present everywhere. Thus,
the only solution is to design them for optimal performance, minimum cost, extended
recyclability, and efficient reuse. Prof. Soares' research plan aims at meeting these
goals and could revolutionize the way the industry designs polymers.
