\begin{abstract}
Hi Reddit! I am a Professor at Case Western Reserve University with the
Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering, a Polymer
Professor for short! I also have joint appointments with Chemistry and
Biomedical Engineering. For the last 18 years my focus has been in the
discovery and engineering of materials, specifically nanomaterials, and
find useful applications related to things like paints, composites,
sensors, and packaging. This means that we need to first understand the
synthesis and properties of these billionth of a meter particles or thin
films. We have published numerous articles in scientific journals
reporting their interesting properties and reporting methods of
preparation. However, my group and I find interesting ways to apply them
for practical and industrial purposes. For example, we have worked on
high barrier coatings that enable better packaging materials to make
food last longer, sensors that can be used to detect pollutants,
dangerous substances, and drugs, and we have made materials that are
useful for light emitting devices and solar cells. Most importantly, the
group has turned out numerous students who have become independent
researchers, professors, innovators, and in general good careers in
looking a technology from the perspective of chemistry. For more
information about me and my research, you can visit www.rcapoly.net. I
serve as a journal editor in a number of high impact factor journal like
Reactive and Functional Polymers, Polymer Reviews, and also as board
members in Macromolecules, ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, and
Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics. I am the Chair of the Polymer
Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society and have been
interested in advancing the science, the profession, and the community.
I give regular webinars on Nanotechnology as sponsored by Park AFM
Instruments. Recently, we established a consortium for bringing new
materials technologies to the oil and gas industry. There is much
promise for new developments and Nanotechnology has been at the
forefront of many advances now in materials, although not as many
``would like to admit it'' as it seems to be still clouded mysteriously
as a process. There is also a lot of misconception about it. Other than
my other professional activities, I am interested in working with 3-D
printing, entrepreneurship, mentoring young students, and helping the
Philippines. I will be available at 1:00pm ET. Ask me anything about
nanotechnology on everyday things and I will be happy to answer the
state-of-the-art and the prospect for future applications. ET 1:00 PM, I
am available online to answer any questions. RIgoberto Advincula I will
answer the questions online on the order it was recieved. Rigoberto
Advincula ET 2:30 PM, I will take a break for now and will try to answer
more questions later. Rigoberto Advincula ET 9:30 PM I answered more
questions. Rigoberto Advincula ET: 10:20 PM Sign off for now. Rigoberto
Advincula%
