The conference aim is to provide a forum for polymer scientists and
engineers to present and share the state-of-the-art knowledge
on polymer modification, degradation and stabilization and related areas.
Conference topics:
- Polymer degradation and stabilization (including fire retardancy and art conservation)
- Polymers and environment (recycling, reuse, biodegradation, bio-based polymers)
- Polymer modification, blends, composites and nanostructured polymers
- Polymers for innovative technical and medical applications (including polymer coatings and optoelectronic materials)
