It is a great pleasure to inform you that the 22nd Baltic Polymer Symposium (BPS 2024) will be held in Lithuania, Birštonas, September 17-19, 2024!
Baltic Polymer Symposium is a traditional conference, started in the year 2001, circulating in Baltic states. The conference aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and especially young scientists, master and Ph.D. students to share their research results. Still, the conference has broad international recognition nowadays, having participants from more than 15 countries. The most important areas covered by the conference are polymeric materials and composites, conductive polymers, electrochemistry, and photochemistry of polymers, composites (synthesis, processing, recycling), organic materials and devices, etc.
