IMPOLYMER2026 brings together leading academic and industrial voices in polymer science to explore the future of smart, sustainable and functional materials. The conference spans topics such as shape-memory polymers, bio-based composites, nanomaterials and polymers for environmental and energy applications.

Why IMPOLYMER2026 matters to the DPI community

This event is highly relevant for two of DPI’s core programmes: Circular Plastics Initiative and Polymers for energy transition. The technical programme aligns with DPI’s focus on developing new material properties that support recyclability, functionality and long-term system performance. For DPI partners, IMPOLYMER-2026 offers valuable exposure to scientific advances and potential links to emerging technology routes in areas like energy storage, degradable polymers and bio-inspired design.
