The 36th Elastomer Symposium will be held, bringing together scientists and engineers to discuss topics related to rubber, elastomers, and soft materials.
The symposium will feature two main themes: “Carbon Neutrality and the Circular Economy in Rubber” and “Digital Transformation and Material Informatics in Rubber.”We invite you to share your extensive knowledge and experience, and engage in lively discussions from diverse perspectives to address the environmental challenges facing rubber and explore the latest technologies for swiftly and effectively resolving these issues, thereby shaping the future of the rubber industry together.
Additionally, on the evening of the first day, we will host a mixer as an opportunity for participants to network. We look forward to your presentations and participation.
Registration is now open. Early bird registration is available until Friday, October 24.
In order to promote paperless initiatives from an environmental perspective, the abstracts of research presentations will be published in electronic format (PDF files).
We are now accepting research presentations.
