Seasonal Workshops Series - Winter Workshop
Processing meet Structuration: Shaping Sustainable Polymeric Composites
Date: February 29, 2024 | Time: 09:00 to 17:30 (UTC+1) | Location: Riad Science 2, Conference Room, Lot 660, Hay Moulay Rachid, Benguerir, 43150, Morocco
Workshop Overview:
The Warmer Workshop is the Winter Workshop of the Sustainable Materials Research Center (SusMat-RC) at University Mohammed VI Polytechnic (UM6P). Under the theme of “Processing meet Structuration: Shaping Sustainable Polymeric Composites,” this workshop offers an in-depth exploration of the dynamic relationship between processing techniques (coextrusion, reactive extrusion, microwaves, electrospinning, etc.) and material structuration. Experts will present valuable insights into the latest advancements in high-tech applications and ecological preservation.
This one-day event is open to Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows, scientists, researchers, and professionals in Chemistry, Polymer Science, Materials Science, and Engineering. The program is available in a hybrid format, enabling both in-person and remote participation.
