Nordic Polymer Days 2015
Nordic Polymer Days is the key annual conference where researchers and professionals get together to discuss new technologies and innovations within polymer science and engineering.
For more than 50 years NPD has generated fruitful collaborations
and valuable networks between participants from both Academia
and Industry.

Call for papers
We kindly invite presentations from all fields of polymer science
and engineering including the industry.
We especially like to encourage PhD students and other junior
scientists to submit contributions from their work. Many of the now
established and well-recognized scientists in both Academia and
Industry in the Nordic countries had their debut at one of the former Nordic Polymer Days.
Deadline for submission of a 1 A4 page (max.) abstract for either
an oral presentation or poster is March 1, 2015.
Send to Helle Borch, IDA. E-mail: hbo@ida.dk

Scientific topics
All polymers related subjects are most welcome.
The meeting will devote special emphasis on the following topics:
•
Newest trends in polymer synthesis and characterization
•
Biopolymers at large: Origin, application and fate
•
Smart and switchable polymeric materials
•
Composites and nanomaterials: processing, modelling
and application
•
The polymer surface/interface struggle
•
New functional polymer materials for the energy and electronic sector
•
Polymers for medical applications, biomedicine and
pharmaceutics
•
Polymer processing and applied rheology revisit
In addition, an exhibition on primarily analytical instrumentation,
process equipment, and products will be arranged. In that connection also an exhibitors’ lecture session is planned.
On the website npd2015.dk you can read about the exhibitors.
