IP’24 will cover all areas of ionic polymerization as well as related approaches, for instance new methods, innovative solvents and techniques, advanced materials and precision polymer structures. The conference scope also comprises emerging as well as established applications. Furthermore, current approaches relying on biobased monomers and potentially sustainable materials will be discussed.
A full programme of 5 days is planned including: 9 Plenary Lectures 26 Invited Lectures 22 Oral Communications selected from the submitted abstracts.
