Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to participate in the 3rd International Online Conference on Polymers Science—Polymer science and technology: when progress meets sustainability and reliability (IOCPS 2025), sponsored by the MDPI open access journal Polymers (ISSN 2073-4360; IF: 4.9). The conference is an opportunity for researchers in polymer science and technology to present their research and exchange ideas with colleagues. This is an online conference, removing the need to travel and eliminating participation expenses while still maintaining a rigorous selection of scientific contributions and, at the same time, ensuring the possibility for visibility for your own research.
The conference will be organized around the following general topics, providing a forum for presenting and discussing new results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Biobased, Biodegradable-compostable, and Recyclable Polymers;
2. Polymer Analysis and Characterization;
3. Recent Functional and Structural Applications of Polymer Systems;
4. Polymer Composites and Nanocomposites;
5. Polymer Physics and Theory.

This will be an online conference held on Sciforum, a platform developed and sponsored by MDPI to organize and provide technical support for online conferences, from 19 to 21 November 2025.

A number of free live-streaming sessions will be held during the conference, including talks from invited speakers. These live sessions will also contain a Q&A section to answer questions from a live online audience.

All accepted abstracts and posters will be published in Proceedings (ISSN: 2504-3900). Please check the section ‘Instructions for Authors’ for a detailed description of how to submit your contribution to the conference.

All conference participants will be encouraged to submit a full manuscript to the Special Issue published in Polymers, with a 20% discount on the article processing charge. Conference Papers submitted to the Special Issue must have been extended by at least 50%, and will undergo the standard peer-review process of the journal.

The best oral presentation and best poster will receive an award of CHF 300.

We look forward to engaging in exciting discussions and hearing new ideas and perspectives from experts in the field. All participants are welcome to attend the online conference.
