Greetings and best wishes from International Unit on Macromolecular Science and Engineering, Mahatma Gandhi University, Priyadarshini Hills P.O, Kottayam, Kerala, India & Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijing, China. We are extremely glad to write to you that we are organizing the Fifth International Conference on Polymer Processing and Characterization (ICPPC 2019) on 11, 12 and 13 October 2019 at Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala, India. The last conference on Polymer Processing in 2016 held in Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala was a great success.

This symposium will bring together a panel of highly-accomplished experts in the field of Polymer Processing and Characterization. Talks will encompass basic studies and applications and will address topics of novel issues. During the three-day conference, we will listen to recognized authorities in the field as they discuss recent advances, difficulties, and breakthroughs in the field of Polymer Processing and Characterization. The conference will feature keynote addresses, a number of plenary sessions, invited talks and contributed lectures focusing on specific tenets of Polymer Processing and Characterization. Additionally, there will be several poster sessions, and four best poster presentations will be selected for the award.

During the conference there will be a brain storming discussion meeting in order to submit a joint project proposals to European Union under the “HORIZON 2020” programme for funding between India, Europe and Rest of the world. We will also discus other bilateral research progrmmes between DST, UGC, INSA and DBT of India and Rest of the world. Please note that DST of India has signed bilateral agreement with almost all the countries in the globe. These include DST-NSF, DST-DAAD, DST-DFG, DST-KBN, Indo-French (CEFIPRA), DST-NSF, DST- Australia, etc etc. This conference will act as a good platform to find partners for international research collaborations. We are open to all sorts of collaborations.
