TRANSCRIPT
The Europe/Africa Regional Meeting of the Poly-mer Processing Society (PPS-2003) took place inAthens, Greece. The meeting started with regis-tration on Sunday afternoon, 14 September 2003and ended on Wednesday afternoon, 17 Septem-ber 2003, at the Hotel Armonia, in beautiful Vou-liagmeni bay. The Conference was attended by214 delegates from 32 countries, thus making it atruly international event. It included 2 plenaryand 36 keynote lectures. The scientific paperswere presented under 15 major themes. A totalnumber of 264 papers were divided into two cat-egories: 177 oral and 87 posters.
The Plenary lectures were given by: Prof.Zehev Tadmor of Technion (Israel Institute ofTechnology, Haifa, Israel) entitled “Touchstonesof Polymer Processing - From Classical PolymerProcessing to Macromolecular Engineering andScience and Molecular Engineering: a Novel Sci-ence-Engineering Discipline” and Dr. A.E.(Stathis) Zachariades (POLTECO Inc., California,USA) entitled “Engineering of Polymer Propertiesthrough Solid State Processing”. The 15 majorthemes were:
1. Rheology and Rheometry2. Mixing and Compounding3. Polymer Composites4. Reactive Processing5. Polymer Blends and Alloys6. Extrusion (Die Design, Single- or
Twin-Screw)7. Injection Molding8. Modeling and Simulation9. Structure Development during Processing
10. Fibers and Films11. Rotational / Blow Molding and
Thermoforming12. Recycling / Reusing of Polymers13. Packaging and Barrier Properties14. Stabilization/Biodegradability15. Molecular Rheology and Simulations
A highlight of PPS-2003 was the banquet, whichtook place on Tuesday night, 16 September 2003,in a beautiful Greek taverna, featuring Greeksongs and dances and a wide and enthusiasticparticipation from the delegates.
