Welcome
The International Conference on Frontiers of Polymers and Advanced Materials is a multidisciplinary international forum on materials science and applications. Inaugurated first in India in 1991, this meeting is a sequel of preceding, very successful series of international meetings organized in different locations around the world. Over the years, the ICFPAM conference series has facilitated the collaboration of scientists, engineers, and industrial leaders and encouraged discussions on multidisciplinary aspects of macromolecular and materials science, leading to the exchange of scientific knowledge and the establishment of new collaborations.
Conference Topics
Over the more than 30 years since this conference exists, the world has evolved considerably. New technological challenges have emerged. The primary objective of this conference is to tackle these challenges by exploring solutions in the field of materials engineering.
Often the best solutions are multidisciplinary in nature. Therefore, the range of topics covered has been constantly expanding.
To provide a logic order, the conference topics will be divided into the following symposia:
Symposium A: Photonics, organic electronics, energy conversion and storage
Symposium B: Biomaterials, sensors and devices in healthcare and medicine
Symposium C: Materials for space, aviation and defense applications
Symposium D: Fibers, natural fibers, green chemistry
Symposium E: Materials in sustainable food production
Symposium F: Composite, hybrid, carbon-based, organometallic and ceramic materials
Symposium G: Advanced Characterization Techniques for Materials
Fees
We encourage you to fill out the pre-registration form. This action does not entail any obligations. It will help to better estimate the number of interested participants, which will make organization more effective.
The conference fee grid will be announced by the end of 2025.
