Modern applications for polymeric materials such as batteries, flexible electronics, medical devices and implants, controlled drug delivery systems as well as smart textiles have complex requirements towards material properties and functions. Functions comprise electrical conductivity, stimuli-sensitivity, degradability, specific structural functions, transport of heat energy and substances, magnetic functions as well as biofunctionality. Often combinations of functions are demanded, which are not automatically linked by each other, but need to be implemented almost independently in a material system. Different strategies are pursued for gaining multifunctionality: molecular integration by incorporating (different) functional groups, establishing of functions on different length scales and creation of multimaterial systems, in which each component contributes a function or new functions are resulting from their combination. Sustainability aspects are playing a role in the context of the raw materials used, which should preferentially be from bio-based sources, recyclability of the material system as well as energy saving processing, e.g. by use of integrated processes combining synthesis and shaping. This symposium covers all areas of research in this field including design and synthesis of stimuli-responsive and multifunctional polymers, their processing and application development based on these materials.
