The purpose of this series of symposiums is to exchange and discuss new ideas and new findings in various areas of polymer physics. Following the great success of the previous ten symposiums, the 11th International Symposium will be co-organized by the State Key Laboratory of Polymer Physics and Chemistry of China, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, University of Akron and University of Tokyo. We warmly welcome polymer scientists and engineers around the world to join us and we believe that your participation will be a great contribution toward the success of PP’2014, Nanjing.
