PMSE Sponsored Symposiums
Over 30 symposia are held annually across the two American Chemical Society national meetings, and PMSE works with polymeric research groups across the globe to foster international collaboration.
San Diego, CA: March 23 – 27, 2025
In 1924 at the 67th National American Chemical Society Meeting, the Paint and Varnish Section held their first symposium on paint and varnish chemistry. After more than 100 years of symposia across 202 national meetings, the members of the Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering Division recognize the century of accomplishments from those early beginnings.
At the 269th American Chemical Society meeting in San Diego, CA, the Division plans to host multiple symposium and events celebrating the past success and future of polymer material science through chemistry. PMSE has a wide variety of programming, which are listed at the following page.
The PMSE / POLY Plenary & Award Reception will be held 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM PDT on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, Pacific Ballroom: Section 18 (San Diego Marriott Marquis).
