Official Information:

International Conference on i-POLYMER MATERIALS, Focussed on the future of Polymer Materials. Contributions will be focussed on:

A) application oriented research on INNOVATIVE polymers to open up new markets /Commodity Plastics in need of INTELLIGENT polymer modifications /Nano-composites awaiting their large-scale commercial INTRODUCTION.

B) Furthermore, we invite Academia to present their research on INTERACTIVE Polymer Materials (synthetic polymers made to mimic natural functions like Self-healing, Self-structuring, Sensing and Processing of signals, and Response to impacts from the environment)and the Medical World investigating IN VIVO use of Polymeric tissues, Drug-release particles and platelets and testing Polymer IMPLANTS.

We intend to promote discussion between Industry Managers/Researchers and Academic Scientists about these latest trends in Polymers, in Chemistry as well as in Processing and Performance. To stimulate such discussions we have invited several distinguished Peer Experts.

Selected topics are: Controlled Chemistry, Advanced Polymerisations, Nano composites, Blending, Self-structuring, Chemical Modification, Self-healing Materials, Functional Polymers, Tissues&Fabrics, Membranes, Molecular Architecture, Biomedical Polymers, Sensors, Polymers &Energy
