Processes Webinar | Synthesis and Processes of Polymers and Polymer Composites for Analytical Applications, 5 February 2026
The webinar “Synthesis and Processes of Polymers and Polymer Composites for Analytical Applications” brings together leading researchers to discuss recent advances in the design, synthesis, and application of functional polymeric materials for analytical and sensing technologies. As analytical challenges become increasingly complex, there is a growing demand for advanced materials that offer higher selectivity, sensitivity, and reliability.
This webinar aims to highlight innovative approaches across the full development chain of polymer-based analytical materials—from rational and computational design to advanced synthesis strategies and practical sensing applications. Particular emphasis will be placed on molecularly imprinted polymers, polymer composites, and emerging processing techniques that enable improved analytical performance.
By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue between materials science, analytical chemistry, and engineering, this event provides a platform for exchanging knowledge and exploring future directions in polymer-based analytical technologies. We hope this webinar will stimulate fruitful discussions and inspire new collaborations within the scientific community.
