POLY-CHAR [Halle | Siegen] 2022        

May 22, 2022 to May 25, 2022                               

Together with the worldwide POLY-CHAR community we were able to welcome in May 2022 more than 100 participants for the annual International Polymer Characterization Forum with associated 1 day short course. In addition to POLY-CHAR’s traditional focus on Polymer synthesis, characterization and application, a particular focus of this conference was be laid on (i) Circular economy of polymers and sustainable applications as well as (ii) Polymers for biomedical applications.

To ensure unrestricted worldwide participation in times of global uncertainty regarding travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic POLY-CHAR [Halle | Siegen] 2022 was organized as live digital event. The high quality of the contributions and lively discussions showed that the POLY-CHAR community made it well through the pandemic and looks forward to meet in January 2023 in Auckland (New Zealand).

  Closure of conference & farewell 

The idea behind POLY-CHAR [Halle|Siegen] 2022 is to provide an opportunity to bring together scientists and technologists from different areas of polymer science.

Special attention is laid on two guiding themes of the meeting:

     Polymers and the Environment: Circular Economy

     Polymers for Health / Biomedical Materials

The symposium's topics concomitantly include:     Polymer Synthesis,    Polymer Characterization,    Polymer Physics, Theory and Simulations,    Circular Economy of Polymers and Sustainable Applications,    Polymers for Biomedical Applications: Biopolymers, Biomedical Materials and Biotechnology,    Biopolymers in Nutrition and Health,    Elastomers and Amorphous Materials,    Nanomaterials and Smart Materials,    Economics of Polymeric Materials,    Mechanics of polymers,    Adhesives and Coatings,    Advanced Hybrid Materials etc.

POLY-CHAR 2023 World Forum on Advanced Materials and “Short Course on Polymer Characterization” (postponed from 2021 & 2022)

January 22, 2023  to  January 27, 2023

The Annual Forum on Advanced Materials brings together professors, students and people from industry involved in theory, experiment and computer simulations under one roof to achieve systemic understanding of connections between structures, interactions, processing and properties in polymer materials science. This is a long-term activity, not aimed at temporary fashions.

From the very beginning one of the important aims of the conference is to give young scientists a forum to present their result and to meet with distinguished scientists from all over the world. The conference to set its mark in all parts of the work in order so that students and scientists from all parts of the world have a chance to participate at least occasionally.

POLY-CHAR (https://poly-char.org/) is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization devoted to create a friendly environment to share information, organize student exchange and cooperation, to hold international meetings and to provide a platform in the field of Materials Science, in particular Polymer Characterization and Polymer Materials Science and Technology, for scientist from all over the word disregarding where they are from. An important goal of POLY-CHAR is to offer a forum for PhD students and young researchers to create their own scientific networks and experience a true scientific community. POLY-CHAR is rooted in polymer synthesis, characterization, processing, application, recycling, education and its environmental/social consequences.
