Looking back on the conference
The 14th  Dresden Polymer Discussion will focus on reinforcement effects  in  polymer networks and melts on all relevant scales, from molecular  to  macroscopic, making an attempt to better understanding of those  effects  and their utilization for material developments by bringing  together  scientists active in different fields of fundamental as well  as applied  science.
Dresden Polymer Discussions are  nomen est omen  meetings  characterized by intensive discussions and therefore held with a  strictly limited number of participants in a venue that provides under  one roof the conference location and accommodation for all participants.  Most of the lectures are invited talks by representatives of groups  leading in the field.
