Advances in electronics, in energy-efficient transport technology and in energy generation from renewable sources require parallel advances in polymer chemistry. Epoxy group chemistry is key to all these areas. This meeting will bring recent exciting developments in epoxy chemistry together in a single forum, with a panel of speakers chosen from industry and applied academic research. Topics include synthesis, structured polymers, nanocomposite technology and flame retardants. The meeting aims to present an overview of recent progress in epoxy group chemistry and its applications and to provide networking opportunities within the epoxy chemistry community.
