On behalf of the organization committee of the International Symposium on Polymer Chemistry (PC 2016), it is our privilege to invite you to the 7th International Symposium on Polymer Chemistry, September 07-10, 2016, in Changchun, Jilin Province, China! We are honored to host this event, for the 7th time in China and look forward to welcoming our friends and colleagues from all over the world.

International Symposium on Polymer Chemistry is an international meeting on polymer chemistry organized by the State Key Laboratory of Polymer Physics and Chemistry, Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, China. It has become a platform for academic exchange for polymer scientists from all over the world. Following the great success of the previous six symposia (Changchun 2004, Dalian 2006, Hefei 2008, Suzhou 2010, Changchun 2012, and Shanghai 2014), in 2016, the 7th meeting in the series, PC 2016, will be held in Changchun. With the main theme of “Polymers for a Sustainable World”, PC 2016 will be organized around the following topics: (1) Polymer Synthesis and Characterization; (2) Macromolecular Architecture and Supramacromolecules; (3) Functional Polymers; (4) Bio-related and Medical Polymers.

We warmly welcome polymer scientists around the world to join us and thank you in advance for your fine contributions to the success of PC2016.
