14th International Symposium on Ionic Polymerization (IP'22)

The 14th International Symposium on Ionic Polymerization (IP’22) will be held in Ghent, Belgium, 11-16 September 2022. IP’22 will be the latest in a series of successful meetings, the most recent of which were held in Beijing (China, 2019), Durham (UK, 2017), Bordeaux (France, 2015), Awaji (Japan, 2013), Akron (USA, 2011) and Krakow (Poland, 2009).

The theme of the conference will be Ionic polymerizations to develop advanced functional materials. The conference will be a forum to discuss the most recent development in Ionic Polymerizations within academia and industry. This is of continuous interest for the development of more and more complex polymer materials to meet the ever increasing demands in materials properties, both for industrial applications as well as biomedical applications. The latter is represented in the focus on advanced functional materials.
