What are polymers, anyway? With the help of local middle school
students, Princeton faculty members and graduate students give a
hands-on explanation of these long-chain molecules in a video
recorded at the University's 2010 Science and Engineering Expo.
The spring expo was attended by approximately 1,000 area middle
school students. It was co-organized by the Princeton Center for
Complex Materials (PCCM), which offers outreach programs
designed to spark and sustain enthusiasm for science among young
people at a critical time in
