Welcome to POLY-CHAR 2025!

Rooted in polymer synthesis, characterization, processing, application, recycling, and education, POLY-CHAR fosters a collaborative environment for polymer scientists worldwide. The year 2025 brings us a new opportunity to meet and share our science together in Mauritius, the Star and Key of the Indian Ocean. POLY-CHAR 2025 Mauritius will not only bring this prestigious event back to Africa for the first time since 2014, but also unite continents through its cultural richness and diversity. This event marks a significant milestone, highlighting nearly two decades of polymer research advancements in Mauritius. Co-organized by the Center for Biomedical and Biomaterials Research (CBBR), University of Mauritius, and Wits Advanced Drug Delivery Platform (WADDP), University of Witwatersrand, South Africa this edition will explore the theme “Polymeric materials meet nanobiotechnology.”

Join us for this vibrant exchange of ideas and collaboration in polymer materials science and technology as we continue pushing the boundaries of innovation and research!
