The Asia-Europe Symposium on Processing and Properties of Reinforced Polymers aims to offer a regular international forum for materials scientists and engineers in the field of polymers and polymer composites. Revious symposia were organized in Nancy, France(2004), Beijing, China(2005), Budapest, Hungary(2007), Guilin, China(2009), Dresden, Germany(2011), Wuhan, China(2013), Madrid, Spain (2015). Following the excellent reputation and traditions of these previous activities, the 8th symposium will be held in Chengdu , China on June 29th -July 2nd 2017 . The scientific program covers achievements and recent advances in all topics on polymer technology. Key and emerging issues will be discussed and identified for future woks . The organizers will make every effort to enhance interactions among leading experts and promising innovators from research institutions ,end-use industries and academia. Coupled with local cultural introduction, the high quality presentations on the basis of strict professional selection ensure a friendly atmosphere throughout the conference, which would further help to establish long-term cooperation between the participants.

Moreover ,a special UK-China Nanocomposites session has been included. This is the Third UK-China Symposium on Polymer Nanocomposites , following two very successful events in Warwick , UK(2014) , and Shanghai , China (2015) . This section is by invitation only, aims to enhance the interaction between scientists in the field of polymer nanocomposites from UK and China.
