Bionic bras, handheld 3D printers for repairing damaged cartilage, shape-shifting medical implants and anti-cancer drugs delivered using nanoparticles. This is not the stuff of fantasy. This is the now.

Welcome to the world of polymers. But what are they we hear you ask? When many small molecules (which are made up of atoms held together by chemical bonds) are joined together end to end, you end up with polymers. And they are transforming the world as we know it.

Join us for an evening of science where we will delve into the world of polymers and how they are being used to make better humans.

Our presenters, including QUT Professor Christopher Barner-Kowollik, will explore how polymers are being used in everything from cancer treatments, to tackle antibiotic resistance and in 3D printed body parts.
