Welcome to innovate and react.I am the host Kevin Hares,and I find chemistry awesome.It lets us understand the worldaround us and tailor materialsto the properties we need.For examples, have you ever consideredthat most plastics are polymers built fromcarbon, hydrogen, oxygen, maybe nitrogen?Yet, they can have all kinds of differentproperties, from soft and warm polyestersin clothes, or extremely strong fiberswhich are bulletproof like Kevlar.If you add phosphorus to this mix,you can get the DNA, the originfor life, which is also a polymer.So how atoms are connected, andwhich bonds they form, reallyshapes the world around us.And chemistry can explainhow this comes together.This is why I want to learn more about it.In this podcast, I will betalking to scientists about theirwork and findings in chemistry.Experts in different fieldsand types of application.The first episode, for example, will beabout bone adhesives and how chemistrycan provide better options for healingbone fractures than conventional methods.This method is not fully developedyet, but with the expert, I canget some insights on this newdeveloping field, which is a mixturebetween chemistry and medicine.There will be mostly interview typeepisodes with conversations about theresults and how they came together.Some additional episodes mightintroduce new topics for a small series.For more information on all episodes,you can visit innovateandreact.com,There you can find additional informationfor each episode, sometimes also graphsand figures from the publicationsand information about the guests.and if you are fascinated by chemistry,then this podcast is for you.If you have topics that I definitelyshould cover, please let me know andshoot me an email on the website.You can find the contact formand yeah, that’s it for now.Thank you for listening.And I hope I will catchyou in the first episode.
