IPST2013: International Polymer Conference, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

05 Nov 2013

The Innovation in Polymer Science and Technology 2013 (IPST2013) was held in Yogyakarta, Indonesia on October 7 – 10, 2013 and organised by the Indonesian Polymer Association (HPI). It was attended by more than 250 participants from over 20 countries; presenting about 200 paper works consisting of 102 oral and 108 poster presentations, including 7 plenary speakers, and 24 keynote speakers. To date, this event was the biggest international polymer conference, organised by the Indonesian Polymer Association.

IPST2013

The conference was officially opened by the representative of Indonesian government, the Ministry of Research and Technology of Indonesia. The Indonesian Polymer Association presented a 2013 HPI award to Dr. M. Sugandi (a former of the HPI’s chair) for her lifetime contributions in polymer research as well as in the polymer society in Indonesia. The best student posters were awarded to 5 students: Arum Patriati (Indonesia), Shih Ming Chang (Taiwan), Emiko Ohara (Japan), Ayami Nagayama (Japan), and Koay Seong Chun (Malaysia). Zainon Othman (Malaysia) and Firman Kurniawansyah (Indonesia) were awarded the best oral presentation prize.

The IPST2013 was officially closed by Ms. Eniya L. Dewi, the chair of the IPST2013 and ICFCHT2013. The next conference will take place in 2016 (IPST2016) and will be held in Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia. We look forward to seeing you there!

NanoDDS’13: Oct. 25-26, 2013 – University of California, San Diego

30 Apr 2013

The 11th International Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Symposium (NanoDDS’13) will be held Oct. 25-26, 2013 at the University of California, San Diego. NanoDDS is the key annual event for researchers developing next-generation delivery vehicles: targeted, responsive, biodegradable nanomaterials for drug delivery, diagnostics, noninvasive imaging, and regenerative medicine. This symposium, co-chaired by Adah Almutairi of UC San Diego and Andrew Mackay of the University of Southern California, features a diverse group of creative, high-profile investigators, including Erkki Ruoslahti, Samuel Stupp, and Allan Hoffman.

Abstracts for poster presentations will be accepted from May through September; the top three abstracts will win prizes and oral presentation slots.

More information can be found here.

Taking the opportunity of a very successful meeting on Innovation in Polymer Science and Technology 2011 (IPST2011) in Bali, Indonesia, organised by the Indonesian Polymer Association (HPI) under the auspices of Asian Polymer Association (APA), it is our great honor to organise and hold the coming IPST2013 meeting on October 7 – 10, 2013 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia under the auspices of Federation of Asian Polymer Societies (FAPS).

In IPST2013, we are planning to organise 5 Microsymposia on:

(1) Nanostructure, Composites and Polymer Physics
(2) Rubber Process and Technology
(3) Polymers for Medical and Pharmacy Applications
(4) Polymer Technology in New and Renewable Energy
(5) Green and Degradable Polymers covering the topic of Nanostructure Polymers, Blends and Composites; Polymer Technology in New and Renewable Energy; Fiber and Fibrous Polymer Materials; Smart and Functionalized Polymers; Advanced Synthesis Polymers; Green, Sustainable and Bio-polymers.

With a very unique combination of ancient temples of UNESCO World Heritage such as Borobudur and Prambanan, strong traditions, classical and contemporary Javanese cultures, natural forces and also history on Indonesia’s war of independent make Yogyakarta a very worthwhile place to be visited and hosting IPST2013, the International Polymer Conference and Exhibition.

20 Aug 2012

The 1st Polymer Chemistry International Symposium will take place in China this year. The purpose of RSC journal symposia is to bring together scientists in a stimulating and friendly environment that will foster collaborations between the researchers and the universities involved in the meetings.

The symposium will comprise of three one-day meetings held at three separate institutions. Each one day meeting will feature talks by Polymer Chemistry international speakers from the journal’s Editorial Board, in addition to a collection of local speakers. The symposium is organised by Polymer Chemistry, the Royal Society of Chemistry and the local host organisations. The meetings will take place at Tsinghua University (Beijing), Suzhou University and Fudan University (Shanghai).

The symposium will appeal to academic and industrial scientists with an interest in all aspects of synthetic and biological macromolecules. Attendance at the symposium is free of charge and student participation is strongly encouraged.
