General Papers/New Concepts in Polymeric Materials
This scope of this symposium is to cover general submissions of high impact in fields outside of the current symposium topics. This can include, but is not limited to, submissions covering polymeric materials, material science, polymer engineering, and coating technology.
Joint PMSE/POLY Poster Session
The Joint PMSE/POLY Poster is a highly attended poster session, held one evening during the conference. Topics from any symposium or the general field of polymeric materials, chemistry, engineering, and coating technology are welcome to apply. For PMSE submitted posters, a Best PMSE Poster Award is given to the top three posters of the session.
