Dear FAPS Council Members, Past Members and Associate Members, Friends and Colleagues,

              I am writing to inform that I have initiated the preparation of FAPS Congress 2025 to be held in Singapore, on 1-4 December 2025. Below are the weblink and email address dedicated to FAPS 2025.

·         Weblink (site still under construction):

https://web.mse.ntu.edu.sg/faps2025/

·         Email address (available soon):

mailto:mse-faps2025@ntu.edu.sg

              To speed up the conference website construction, I have written to Ayse to request that she share the files used to create FAPS 2023. This will speed up the construction of FAPS Congress 2025 website.

              Tentatively, the suggested theme of FAPS2025 is “Polymer Materials for a More Sustainable Future”. The following topics are suggested:

1.      Polymer chemistry and synthesis

2.      Polymer physics, self-assembly, and supramolecular polymers

3.      Polymer characterisation

4.      Biopolymers and biomimetics for biomedical applications

5.      Smart and functional polymers

1.      Hydrogels, ionogels, aerogels,

2.      Stimuli-responsive polymers

3.      3D and 4D printing

4.      Covalent adaptive polymers (healable polymers, vitrimers)

6.      Engineering aspects of polymers

1.      Polymer processing

2.      Composites

3.      High temperature resistant polymers

4.      Membranes and thin films

5.      Polymer for energy conversion and storage

7.      Environmental impact of polymers

1.      Recycling and upcycling

2.      Design for recyclability

3.      Microplastics

4.      Biodegradable and biomass derived polymers and composites

8.      Emerging topics

9.      Industrial perspectives

 

I would appreciate your feedbacks and suggestions. A local organization committee is being putting together, and we look forward to another successful FAPS Congress in December this year.

 

Warm regards,

Matthew Hu X.
