The Asia-Europe Symposium on Processing and Properties of Reinforced  Polymers aims to offer a regular international forum for materials scientists and engineers in the field of polymers and polymer composites.Previous symposia were organized in Nancy,France(2004),Beijing,China(2005),Budapest,Hungary(2007),Guilin,China(2009),Dresden,Germany(2011),Wuhan,China(2013),
Madrid,Spain(2015). Following the excellent reputation and traditions of these previous activities, the 8th symposium will be held in Chengdu , China on June 29th-July 2nd 2017. The scientific program coversachievements and recent advances in all topics on polymer technology. Key and emerging issues will be discussed and identified for future woks . The organizers will make every effort to enhance interactions among leading experts and promising innovators from research institutions ,end-use industries and academia. Coupled with local cultural introduction, the high quality presentations on the basis of strict professional selection ensure a friendly atmosphere throughout the conference, which would further help to establish long-term cooperation between the participants.

Moreover ,a special UK-China Nanocomposites session has been included. This is the Third UK-China Symposium on Polymer Nanocomposites , following two very successful events in Warwick , UK(2014) , and Shanghai , China (2015) . This section is by invitation only, aims to enhance the interaction between scientists in the field of polymer nanocomposites from UK and China.
