Welcome

Mo.De.ST. Society

Continues a series of successful and well-attended meetings, the most recent of which were held in Atene (Greece, 2010), Liege (Belgium, 2008) and San Sebastian (Spain, 2006). MoDeSt Conferences are by all measures truly international meetings, drawing polymer scientists and engineers, or simply individuals interested in the present and future of plastics. The objective is to present, discuss and diffuse the state-of-the-art knowledge in polymer modification, degradation and stabilization.
.



Pertinent aspects will be covered in a comprehensive and well-structured program, including advances in nanotechnology, polymers and the environment, bio-related polymers and development of advanced textile materials. Invitations to speakers are being issued and details of the confirmed speakers will be posted on the conference web page. Proposals for oral and poster presentations are kindly welcome, noticing the fact that prizes for best poster presentation will be available by the MoDeSt Society.
