2015 Global Conference on Polymer and Composite Materials (PCM2015)

Abstract

The 2015 Global Conference on Polymer and Composite Materials (PCM2015) sponsored by Wuhan Advanced Materials Society and the Ningbo Adhesives and Products Industry Association was held from May 16–19 2015 in Beijing, the capital of the People's Republic of China and one of the most populous cities in the world. The technical program consisted of seven international keynote speakers, oral presentations, a Mini-Workshop: "Writing a Scientific Publication" and a poster session.The present issue of IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) records the proceedings of PCM2015 and contains 117 specially selected manuscripts submitted to the PCM2015 conference. The electronic submission and handling of manuscripts via the conference website, including the selection of reviewers and evaluation of manuscripts, were identical to the procedures applied to manuscripts submitted as regular contributions for publication.The organization of this conference and the preparation of the proceedings volume would have been impossible without the tremendous efforts and dedication of many individuals, especially from Ms. Lan Mengguo, who oversaw the organization of the conference and the program; and a large team of reviewers with their timely submission of quality reports. We express our sincere thanks to all authors and presenters for their contributions. We also thank our sponsors very much for their generous support.The 2016 Global Conference on Polymer and Composite Materials (PCM2016) will be held from June 17–20 2016 in Shanghai, the largest city in China and one of the largest urban areas in the world; all participants are welcome to the renewed and vibrant PCM2016.
