PCM is an annually held conference, it aims to provide a forum for academic experts and participants to exchange their experiences and share research results about all aspects of Polymer and Composite Materials and discuss the encountered practical challenges and the adopted solutions. The previous editions were held successfully in Matsue (Japan, PCM 2025), Xi’an (China, PCM 2024), Online in 2023(PCM 2023), 2022 (PCM 2022),2021 (PCM 2021) and 2020 (PCM 2020), and physically held in Bangkok (Thailand, PCM 2019), Kitakyushu (Japan, PCM 2018), Guangzhou (China, PCM 2017), Hangzhou (China, PCM 2016), Beijing (China, PCM 2015) and Ningbo (China, PCM 2014). The plenary session of PCM 2026 will include Keynote Speeches, Invited Speeches, Oral Presentations and Poster Presentations.
Xi'an, one of the oldest cities in China, is a treasure trove of history and culture. Known as Chang'an in ancient times, it served as the capital for 13 imperial dynasties, making it one of China's Four Great Ancient Capitals. Renowned for its abundant relics and sites and its cultural and historical significance, Xi’an has earned the title of a 'Natural History Museum'. The Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses is hailed as 'the eighth wonder of the world'. At the same time, the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang is listed on the World Heritage List, and the City Wall of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) stands as the largest and best-preserved fortification from the Ming Dynasty.
On behalf of the organizing committee, we cordially invite scientists, scholars as well as entrepreneurs to participate in PCM 2026 in Xi’an.
