Milan Polymer Days 2023
Dear Milan Polymer Days Friend,
following the success of the previous congress editions, we are proud and honored to announce the 7th Milan Polymer Days International Congress, MIPOL2023, which will take place from 7 to 9 June 2023 at the Auditorium of the University of Milan, via Festa del Perdono 7, Milan, Italy.
After two years of virtual online congresses and one hybrid edition, we sincerely hope to finally meet you all in person again in our beautiful city. For a few days, Milan will be the center of international polymer science and will bring together scientists from the most diverse backgrounds, both academic and industrial, with the aim of creating a forum in which they can communicate their findings in all sectors of polymer science and technology.
Keynote lectures held by internationally recognized experts, oral free papers, and poster communications will cover a broad spectrum of topics, including bioactive polymers, polymeric nanocomposites, sustainable polymers, microplastics, polymeric flame retardants, polymer processing, mechanical and thermal characterization of polymers, synthesis of complex macromolecular architectures.
Both the oral sessions and the poster discussion will take place in person but will also be broadcast in live streaming. Participants who choose to participate in the conference remotely will be able to interact with the speakers.
Posters submitted by Young Scientists, that is, Ph.D. students and post-doc fellows under the age of 35 are eligible to participate, upon request, in the Poster Award competition.
At the end of the congress, the winner of the Mario Malinconico Prize for the best master's degree thesis will be celebrated. In the next pages, you can find the list of the excellent members of the MIPOL2023 scientific committee, the keynote speakers, and the invited lecturers who have already accepted to give their contribution to the congress.
We will continue to provide information on how to participate in the MIPOL2023 congress through this page, which will be constantly updated. For any queries, please do not hesitate to mail us at mipol@unimi.it. We are looking forward to welcoming you and sharing with you an excellent time in Milan.
