International conference POLYTRIB
The International conference PolyTrib addresses the tribological challenges of polymer materials.
PolyTrib conference takes place every two years and addresses the tribological challenges of polymer materials. The conference aims to summarize the state of the art research activities in the field with specific focus on the needs and demands in the industrial sector. One of the key goals of Polytrib is to bring together and connect scientists from academia and industry to make a greater impact of polymer tribology in sustainable engineering.
POLYTRIB 2022
PolyTrib 2022 took place on December 4-5th 2022, for the first time in Stockholm, Sweden. The 4th of edition of its history marked the beginning of the collaboration between Slovenia and Sweden, so the conference will be held interchangeably between Slovenia and Sweden every two years from now on.
In the program were 36 talks on very diverse topics related to the Tribology of polymers: from elastomers to high-performance polymers, from cryogenic to high temperatures in dry and lubricated conditions. Researchers from institutions from 12 different countries presented the newest findings of their work. The conference was co-chaired by Prof. Mitjan Kalin and Prof. Nazanin Emami. Ten invited speakers were present during the two days of the conference and highlighted the prospects of research on Tribology of polymers.
The next edition of PolyTrib will be held in 2024 in Slovenia.
