The unique properties of conductive polymers are likely to find application in a wide variety of electronic devices within the next couple of decades.
Two new types of 'intelligent' polymers may be a source of design innovation over the coming decade, especially in the biomedical field. Mass commercial applications may follow.
Nanomanipulation at the quantum level of chemical reactions could ameliorate chemical pollution.
As students who learn in ‘green’ laboratories apply their knowledge in industry, environmentally responsible practices for the design, manufacture, and disposal of chemicals may replace unsustainable practices.
