Conference Courses:
POLY-CHAR conferences offer conference courses on comprehensive Characterization of polymer materials, with no additional cost for students and young researchers who have registered on November 22, 2026. The agenda is as follows:
| Activity | Resource person | |
|---|---|---|
| Lecture 1 |
Polymer thermal properties: DSC and Flash DSC, (non-isothermal DSC, isothermal DSC, crystallization kinetic measurements, Flash DSC, and its applications) |
Prof. Alejandro J. Müller |
| Lecture 2 |
Polymer mechanical properties: Stress-strain curves, plastic deformation mechanisms, impact testing, DMTA, etc. |
Prof. Dario Cavallo |
| Lecture 3 |
Polymer Viscoelasticity: Viscoelasticity, dynamic response, relaxations and different transitions, mechanical spectroscopy, temperature and frequency scans, TTS and other superpositions |
Prof. Mehrdad Negahban |
| Lecture 4 |
Electron Microscopy: Multiscale polymer microscopy to study morphology of polymers for environmentally friendly solutions, with some key words like design for recycling, bio-based polymers and blends, degradation, wear, reduction of microplastic emission, light optical microscopy, TEM, SEM |
Prof. Sven Henning |
| Lecture 5 |
Wide Angle X-ray Diffraction: Crystalline structure, polymorphism, degree of crystallinity determination, orientation, etc. |
Prof. Guoming Liu |
| Lecture 6 |
Small-angle X-ray Diffraction for polymer characterization: Long period, lamellar thickness, block copolymer morphology, phase segregation, etc. |
Prof. Volker Abetz |
