Joint DIPC, JCNS & SoftComp Workshop 2018:

Functional Polymers

19 - 21 March 2018, San Sebastian, Spain

Following on in the tradition of events jointly organized by the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC, San Sebastian, Spain), the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany) and the European Network of Excellence SoftComp, a workshop on "Functional Polymers" is being organized to take place in spring 2018 in San Sebastian, Spain.

The workshop focuses on advanced polymer materials, and aims to bring together physicists and chemists who are interested in novel polymer nanocomposites, polymers functionalized with supramolecular groups and functional soft nano-objects.

For all questions regarding the registration and the workshop, please, contact the local organizing committee.
