With the current global emphasis on environmental sustainability, there is a keen interest in developing polymers and related technologies that are eco-friendly and sustainable. In this regard,
significant research efforts are being undertaken in India as well, where sustainable polymer -based research is rapidly emerging as a field with considerable promise and potential. The
Second Symposium on Advances in Sustainable Polymers (ASP-15) to be organized on Jan 21 and 22, 2015, is aimed at providing a platform for researchers to share recent state-of- the-art
advances in the area of sustainable polymers. The symposium is will include talks on recent advances in several aspects of sustainable polymers such as biopolymer extraction, synthesis,
characterization, processing, rheology, nanocomposites and applications.
