About the ICPC

9th ICPC in Shanghai, China 2025

 

The International Conference on Polyolefin Characterization (ICPC) was born to satisfy the need for an international conference specifically focused on polyolefin characterization, since most of the existing polyolefin conferences dealt with catalyst and reaction engineering.

The ICPC Conference covers different aspects of Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) molecular architecture characterization, including molar mass distribution (GPC/SEC), comonomer incorporation and distribution, long chain branching, crystallinity, and rheological properties, and sustainability of materials and processes.

Being organized by Polymer Char, ICPC previous editions have been celebrated in Houston, TX, U.S.A. (2006, 2012, and 2018) in Valencia, Spain  (2008, 2014, and 2023), and in Shanghai, China (2010 and 2016), covering the whole world map and becoming a truly international conference on the field of polyolefin characterization. The next edition will be organized in Shanghai, China, in 2025.

With attendees coming from over 25 countries and from the leading polyolefin players, around 35 lectures and 40 poster presentations in the last editions, ICPC unifies the participation of researchers from both industry and academia throughout all the continents, becoming the unique platform for learning, sharing, and networking. The ICPC is supported by many petrochemicals, research, and instrumentation manufacturing leaders.
