FIRST CIRCULAR

GENERaL CONSPECTuS
The Polymer Processing Society was founded with the intention
to foster advancement and innovation in science, technology and
engineering of polymer processing. The Annual Meeting is held
to establish a discussion forum for the worldwide community of
engineers and scientists in the field.
The 29th Annual Meeting of the Polymer Processing Society
(PPS-29) will be organized in Germany. The PPS-29 provides thematic
range for learning and exchanging of new research results
covering conventional processing technologies, rheology, process
modeling and simulation, morphology and structure development
and nanotechnology related processing technology.
The meeting will be enhanced by an exhibition and a social program
presenting a typical Bavarian atmosphere.
CaLL fOR PaPERS
Participants interested in presenting a contribution to one of the
mentioned areas are invited to submit an abstract of up to 300
words.
