Technical program

POLYCHAR 19 aims at bringing together established polymer scientists, young researchers and students from academia and industries. The conference will provide intensive interactive forum for the discussion on the recent developments in science and technology of polymeric materials with special focus on nanostructured and biorelated polymers. The technical programme will comprise oral presentations (including symposia with plenary, invited and contributed lectures) and dedicated poster sessions. The following topics will be covered in the conference.

• Predictive methods and simulations
• Nanomaterials and smart materials
• Electrical and dielectric properties
• Surfaces, interfaces and tribology
• Mechanical properties and performance
• Rheology and processing
• Structure-property relationships
• Materials synthesis and characterization
• Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
• Natural and biodegradable polymers
• Materials for energy and recycling
