First Time in Israel: International conference of the Polymer Processing Society
The Europe-Africa 2014 Regional Conference of the International Polymer Processing Society will be held in Tel Aviv for the first time.The Department of Plastic Engineering at Shenakr will host the event, as Prof. Shmuel Kenig - Dean of The Faculty - will lead the conference.
or the last 30 years, the meetings were held worldwide in major cities across the continents, but this is the first time that a PPS meeting is held in Israel.
The meeting will gather top researchers from all over the world coming from the academia, institutional and industrial organizations and will encompass the following sessions: plastics and polymers, polymer processing and rheology, smart and multifunctional polymers, bio based and bio-degradable polymers, polymer nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing, polymer surfaces and interfaces, polymers for bio-medical and energy applications and composites materials and processing.
The conference will comprise of plenary, keynote and regular symposia papers as well as posters. In addition a special session honoring Prof. Zeev Tadmor will take place.
