DESCRIPTION:International Conference PolyChar - World Forum on Advanced 
 Materials - 32nd edition\n32\nDear PolyChar’32 participants\,\n     I
 t is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 32nd edition of PolyChar Wor
 ld Forum on Advanced Materials (PolyChar’32)\, organized in the period f
 rom 14 to 16 October 2026 at the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy – 
 University Ss Cyril and Methodius in Skopje (North Macedonia). \n     
 Primary\, created by Witold Brostow\, Michael Hess and Kevin P. Menard and
  first organized in 1992 at the University of North Texas\, Denton (TX) (U
 .S.A.)\, PolyChar is dedicated to the advanced materials. It is an opportu
 nity for the researchers from academia and industry the share their work t
 o a large international audience. From Denton\, the conference proceeded t
 o different parts of the world: Portugal (2004)\, Singapore (2005)\, Japan
  (2006)\, Brazil (2007)\, India (2008)\, France (2009)\, Germany (2010)\, 
 Nepal (2011)\, Croatia (2012)\, South Korea (2013)\, South Africa (2014)\,
  USA (2015)\, Poland (2016)\, Malaysia (2017)\, Georgia (2018)\, Italy (20
 19)\, Armenia (2022)\, France (2023)\, Romania (2024)\, Belgium (2025). \
 n     Initially focused on polymer characterization\, hence the name Po
 lyChar\, the conference subsequently included hot topics  covering all ma
 terials of all classes: Concrete\; Metals\; Alloys\; Modelling\; Nanomater
 ials and Smart Materials\; Natural and Biodegradable Polymers\, Recycling 
 and Sustainability\; Polymer Synthesis\; Polymers for Energy\; Rheology\, 
 Solutions and Processing\; Mechanical Properties and Processing\; Characte
 rization and Structure-Property Relationships\; Biomaterials and Tissue En
 gineering\; Dielectric and Electrical Properties\; Surfaces\, Interfaces a
 nd Tribology\; Predictive Methods\, AI in polymers.\n \n       By tra
 dition\, PolyChar’32 will include a one-day lecture session dedicated to
  younger participants and a two-day scientific meeting following a broad r
 ange of topics. This meeting could not have been organized without the gen
 erous and tireless support and contribution of many individuals and groups
  within and outside the FTM-UCIMS. Therefore\, we would like to acknowledg
 e all the invited lecturers\, speakers\, board and committee members\, cha
 irpersons\, sponsors and all the people that have been involved in the org
 anization and presentation of relevant results and perspectives. Best wish
 es for a professionally rewarding conference! \n \nAnita Grozdanov\, Hos
