Educational Workshop in Polymer Sciences
12.25pm – 4.05pm, Sunday 1 July 2018
Synopsis
This interactive educational workshop on polymer processing is suited for postgraduates or researchers from all countries to up-date their knowledge by interactive oral lectures. All the 3 lectures shall touch on the understanding of the basic science, terms and concepts that are critical to polymer processing from laboratory scale to pilot scale. Thought-provoking insights into the experimental design, process optimization and the research results will be presented. This will provide a basis also for understanding research reports during the following days of the conference. Before the workshop, the instructors may share their power point slides on the website of the IUPAC sub-committee on Polymer Education accessible to the general public.
Who should attend
Postgraduates, higher level undergraduates and other researchers in polymer processing in relevant manufacturing industries.
