POLYMERS 2022 CONFERENCE PROGRAM AND BOOK ARE NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE.

PLEASE FIND HERE A WELCOME BROCHURE WITH USEFUL INFORMATION AND DISCOUNTS
OFFERED TO THE POLYMERS 2022 PARTICIPANTS.

WELCOME FROM THE CHAIRS

Dear colleagues and friends,

We are very proud and honored to announce the international conference Polymers
2022 - New Trends in Polymers Science: Health of the Planet, Health of the
People, organized in collaboration with the MDPI open access journal Polymers.
The conference will be held in Turin, Italy, on May 25–27, 2022.

Over the past 60 years, polymers have made an outstanding contribution to the
development of modern society in every field. The substitution of traditional
materials with tailored polymer systems in the most diverse applications has
allowed us to overcome important technological challenges and improve the
quality of life.

Today, however, polymeric materials face a new challenge: reconciling the
technological progress and well-being of people with the preservation of the
planet, from a circular economy perspective.

The purpose of the meeting is to bring together scientists from academia and
industry to present leading-edge research on the advancements in polymer science
and technology in all its main aspects, with a particular emphasis on those
aiming to preserve and improve the health of the planet and of people, as per
title. Both oral and poster contributions are welcome. The broad themes that
will be addressed during the conference include synthesis, modification, and
characterization of synthetic and natural polymers, polymers from green
chemistry, polymer hybrids, nanocomposites, polymer biomaterials, polymers in
drug delivery and tissue engineering, polymers for human health, bio-based and
biodegradable polymers, polymer recycling and re-use, polymers for the
environment, functional polymers, and polymers in energy, among others.

The conference follows the very successful meeting Polymers 2018 - Polymers:
Design, Function and Application held in March 2018, Barcelona, Spain.

We look forward to welcoming you at the meeting in Turin!
