International Symposium on Synthetic Two-Dimensional Polymers

With the first passable trials into this novel class of polymers completed, the organizing committee intends to bring together high-caliber international specialists from all fields (chemistry, physics, theory, materials, structure analytics) to discuss the burning questions, ranging from synthesis issues to structure analytics and from properties to expected societal impact.

The organizers of this international symposium are convinced of the enormous future impact that two-dimensional polymers and covalent molecular sheets will have. Their congeners, the linear polymers strongly advertised by Hermann Staudinger in the early 1920s, have in the meantime conquered an enormous market which impacts the daily life of people worldwide.
