The Symposium aims to o provide an international forum for the presentation of cutting-edge technologies in the field of polymer analysis and characterization. Over the years, the symposia have brought together analytical chemists, polymers chemists, polymer physicists, chemical engineers, and material scientists involved in the characterization and analysis of synthetic and natural polymeric materials from universities, industry, and government labs. Meetings are held annually, rotating to venues in the USA, Europe and Asia.

Papers are invited. They are planned to be published in International Journal of Polymer Analysis and Characterisation.
