Initially focused on polymer characterization, hence the name PolyChar, the conference subsequently included hot topics  covering all materials of all classes: Concrete; Metals; Alloys; Modelling; Nanomaterials and Smart Materials; Natural and Biodegradable Polymers, Recycling and Sustainability; Polymer Synthesis; Polymers for Energy; Rheology, Solutions and Processing; Mechanical Properties and Processing; Characterization and Structure-Property Relationships; Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering; Dielectric and Electrical Properties; Surfaces, Interfaces and Tribology; Predictive Methods, AI in polymers.

By tradition, PolyChar’32 will include a one-day lecture session dedicated to younger participants and a two-day scientific meeting following a broad range of topics.
