PPS (POLYMER PROCESSING SOCIETY)

The Polymer Processing Society was founded in the March 1985 at the University of Akron, Akron, USA. The goals of the PPS as embodied in its constitution are to foster scientific understanding and technical innovation in polymer processing. PPS provides a discussion forum for the world wide community of engineers and scientists in the field via International annual conferences, regional and local meetings, the quarterly journal International Polymer Processing, the Progress in Polymer Processing book series and by sponsoring educational seminars. Membership of the PPS is open to all individuals who consider the activities of the society will advance their professional development.

Our goal

The goals of the Polymer Processing Society (PPS) as embodied in its constitution are to foster scientific understanding and technical innovation in polymer processing by providing a discussion forum for the worldwide community of engineers and scientists in the field. The thematic range of the PPS encompasses all formulation, conversion and shaping operations applied to polymeric systems in the transformation from their monomeric forms to commercial products.
Membership in PPS is open to all researchers in the field, and to all persons who feel the activities of the society advance their professional development.
