We invite attendance at the Baekeland 2018, "6th International Symposium on Network Polymers", which will be held in Shanghai, CHINA, from April 25-28, 2018. With this symposium, the organization wish to continue the successful of the first symposium that was organized in 2007 in Ghent, BELGIUM, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the invention of Bakelite by the Ghent-born Dr. Leo Baekeland and build up a new technical platform for the thermosetting matrix polymers.

he purpose of the meeting is to review the present trends and developments in all types of thermoset resins (not only phenolics) essentially from a R&D point of view. The following topics have been selected: * Phenolics * Polyimides * BMI/Cyanate ester * Phthalonitrile and silicon alkyne * Epoxy * Ceramic precursors
