We are delighted to be sponsoring the Career in Polymers XII Workshop, 17-18 July at the Insitute of Macromoleculer Chemistry.

Career in Polymers is a workshop for young scientists and PhD students at the start of their professional career. Participants will have the opportunity to meet with other young scientists, discuss their research, and receive valuable feedback. It will cover all aspects of polymer science – chemistry, physics, characterization and applications of polymers (organic, inorganic, hybrid or composite materials) and related topics. It is a satellite meeting of the Prague Meetings on Macromolecules (PMM) and is organised by the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Czech Academy of Sciences.

The opening lecture entitled “Reflections on my 54 Years of Academic Career in Polymer Colloids” will be given by Professor Mohamed El-Aasser.

PhD students and young researchers from both industry and academia are invited to participate in this two-day event. The best presentation will be awarded.

Registration is now open!

Abstract Submission deadline – 10 April
Registration deadline – 5 May

RSC Advances is very pleased to be sponsoring the 84th Prague Meeting on Macromolecules at the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, 12 – 16 July, Prague, along with MSDE and Soft Matter.

The 84th Prague Meeting on Macromolecules – “Frontiers of Polymer Colloids: From Synthesis to Macro-Scale and Nano-Scale Applications” will focus on the latest innovative development in synthesis and characterization of polymer colloids both for life sciences and industry. The meeting will bring together multi-disciplinary experts from both academia and industry in the areas of polymer and material science, pharmaceutics, imaging, biology, and medicine.

Topics

• Preparation of advanced polymer and/or inorganic colloids, living polymerization systems, kinetics and mechanism, micro- and nano-encapsulation, core-shell and hollow particles, engineered surfaces, computer simulations.
• Biomedical aspects: particles for life sciences, drug and gene delivery, biomedical diagnostics, sensors. Colloids in nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine.
• Stimuli-responsive colloids, self-assembled systems, interfacial phenomena, characterization and physicochemical properties.
• New trends in industrial applications: coatings, adhesives, catalysis, paper, textile, optical devices, energy storage.

The program will consist of oral presentations of invited as well as contributed lectures. Two sessions are planned for poster presentations.

We are delighted to be sponsoring the 48th World Polymer Congress IUPAC-MACRO 2020, at ICC Jeju in Korea on 5 – 6 July along with Polymer Chemistry.

The IUPAC-World Polymer Congress is the largest biennial international multi-symposium conference dedicated to all aspects of polymer science and engineering. Over the years, the MACRO conference has developed a strong reputation for bringing together cutting edge research from top international scientists in the field of polymer science.

The 48^th World Polymer Congress will be hosted by the Polymer Society of Korea (PSK) to facilitate exchange and encourage cooperation in our common field. The PSK was founded in 1976 and consists of over 4,500 members from diverse polymer-related fields including polymer chemistry, physics, biology and engineering.

For IUPAC-MACRO2020, seven distinguished plenary speakers and more than 200 renowned speakers will be invited from all over the world including many active female scientists. We expect more than 500 contributed presentations across ten different areas in polymer science.

Early Bird Registration and Abstract Submissions are available now!
