6th International Conference on Polyolefin Characterization (ICPC) in Shanghai, China

The 6th International Conference on Polyolefin Characterization & Short Course on Polyolefin Characterization Techniques will be held November 6 – 9, 2016 in Shanghai, China.

Intended for all researchers both academic and professionals, ICPC has become the meeting point par excellence for worldwide scientists in the field. The Technical Program will consist of different sessions covering Separation and Fractionation, Molecular Structure and Properties, Morphology, Thermal Analysis, Rheology and Spectroscopy.

The ICPC Conference was born in 2006 to satisfy the need for an international conference specifically focused on polyolefin characterization. Previous editions have been celebrated in Houston, TX, U.S.A. in 2006 and 2012, in Valencia, Spain in 2008 and 2014, in Shanghai, China in 2010. With attendees coming from up to 24 countries and from the leading polyolefin players, ICPC Conference has clearly become the international meeting for polyolefin characterization experts.

As part of the Conference program, a Short Course on Polyolefin Characterization techniques is scheduled on November 6 at the same venue. This one-day intensive course is an ideal way to learn the main concepts about Polyolefin Microstructure, GPC Basics and Applications, Chemical Composition Distribution (CRYSTAF, TREF and CEF), Cross Fractionation, High Temperature HPLC and Preparative Fractionation.

Within its five past editions, the ICPC Conference has received the support of many leading Chemical, Polymer, Research and Instrumentation companies, such as Borealis, Chevron Phillips Chemical, The Dow Chemical Company, the Dutch Polymer Institute (DPI), ExxonMobil Chemical, Lyondellbasell, SCG Chemicals, Shenhua, Agilent Technologies, Anton Paar, Freeslate Inc., Jordi Labs, Petro Industry News, Malvern Instruments, Polymer Char, Polymer Standards Service (PSS), Postnova Analytics, Progression Inc., Waters Corporation or Wyatt Technology.

The conference will be accompanied by Posters Sessions, a Booth area and Vendor speeches.
