Welcome to the 40th Australasian Polymer Symposium

The Australasian Polymer Symposium (APS) is a conference with a long tradition. The next meeting will be the 40th in its series, and we will use this occasion to celebrate contemporary polymer science and past achievements of our community. The conference will be held in Darwin, Northern Territory, in the heart of one of Australia’s finest regions. At this great meeting polymer scientists from Australia and New Zealand can come together with international researchers to share their latest research and build connections.
This meeting will have multiple themes covering all the important and emerging areas of polymer science which have most importance for our changing world. This includes polymer synthesis and characterisation, AI and Ml in polymer research, colloids and composite materials, sustainable and green polymers, polymers for health, energy and industry and translational research, complemented by a special session dedicated to the past achievement of Australasian polymer scientists.
We invite you to come along and contribute to this fun and exciting program.
