Since the nineties, EUROFILLERS and POLYMER BLENDS conferences belong to the most important European scientific meetings in the field of polymers. These conferences offered many quality papers covering a wide span of topics. For the first time since 2005, both conferences will merge in 2015 and aim to gather researchers from universities, research institutions and industry not only from

Europe, but from many countries worldwide.

As in the past conferences, young scientists are strongly encouraged to present their work with lively discussions and to join the community as contributing professional members. Topical reviews will be presented by plenary and keynote speakers to create an outstanding event that will highlight current and future trends in the field of polymer blends.

To discuss the scientific research challenges and opportunities of the next decade, the Polymer Blends and Eurofillers new joint meeting will be held in Montpellier,

France in April 2015. http://eurofillerspolymerblends2015.mines-ales.fr/
