The Symposium is the 74th in the series of annual Prague Meetings on Macromolecules, the first of which was held in 1967. The Meetings are themed events, getting together people engaged in basic as well as applied research in certain field of polymer science. Thus, the announced conference addresses researchers dealing with all types of polymer synthesis, their characterization and applications, including design of tailored polymer materials for various use in technical and biological applications.
Conference Topics
• Controlled and living polymerization, including radical and ionic processes, “click” chemistry etc.
• Modification of polymers, reactions on polymers, reactive and functionalized polymers
• Polymers from natural sources, modifications of natural polymers using controlled processes, novel materials
• Polymers for special use in bioapplications and technology
• Ordered and hybrid polymer systems, multicomponent polymer systems
• Synthesis of polymers for photonics and electronics (OLED, solar cells, optical waveguides and memories, organic transistors, sensors etc.)
