Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 52nd Annual Conference of the Israel Polymer and Plastics Society (IPPS 2027), which will take place on Thursday, January 7, 2027, at Expo Tel Aviv, Pavilion 10.

The IPPS Annual Conference is a central meeting point for Israel’s polymer, plastics, and advanced materials community, bringing together researchers, students, industry representatives, and innovators to share scientific achievements, discuss emerging challenges, and promote new collaborations.

This year, we are especially honored to welcome Prof. Alexander Kabanov (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), as a keynote speaker. Prof. Kabanov is internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to polymer science, drug delivery, nanomedicine, and biomaterials, and we are delighted that he will enrich the scientific program with his expertise and vision.

The conference will include keynote and invited lectures, selected oral presentations, student presentations, a poster session, and networking opportunities. We warmly encourage students and early-career researchers to present their work, receive feedback, and connect with colleagues from academia and industry.

We look forward to welcoming you to IPPS 2027 for an inspiring and fruitful day of science, innovation, and collaboration.

Warm regards,

Assoc. Prof. Guy Mechrez, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology
President, Israeli Polymer and Plastics Society
