Introduction

PAPS 2024 provides an opportunity for researchers from both academia and industry to discuss the latest innovations in understanding and manipulating the physical behaviour of a wide range of polymeric systems. The 31st biennial meeting will aim to highlight the role that polymer physics plays in topical areas such as sustainable energy and materials, medicine and health, as well as how machine learning is advancing our understanding of polymer systems. In addition to invited talks from world-class experts, the conference will feature the 2024 Founders’ prize lecture and a presentation from the DPOLY Exchange Lecturer. Contributed presentations are welcomed from postgraduate students and established researchers alike, across a broad range of polymer physics topics.
