Greetings from Costas S. Patrickios,

Chair, Polymer Networks Group.

Welcome to the website of the Polymer Networks Group (PNG). I am the Chair of PNG during the period from January 2019 to December 2022, succeeding Prof. Mitsuhiro Shibayama of The University of Tokyo in Japan.

First of all, I wish that you and your families are healthy and safe from the pandemic, which was also the reason why last year’s meeting in Potomac, Maryland, USA (PNG 2020) was cancelled.

Sciences and technologies on polymer networks grow rapidly, covering not only fundamental chemistry and physics, but also biology, pharmacy, medicine and agriculture. Founded in 1975, PNG is an independent international organization for the promotion of international contacts and stimulation of research in the important field of polymer networks. This is mainly done through PNG biannual meetings, which, during the past four and a half decades, have brought into contact a large number of scientists and engineers from many countries, and stimulated scientific exchanges between the East and the West.

I take the opportunity to bring to your attention the next PNG meeting, PNG 2022, that will take place in Rome, Italy, from the 12th to 16th of June, 2022, and we expect to welcome you there.

Best wishes,

Prof. Costas S. Patrickios

Professor of Chemistry
