About us
The PDDG meets every second year. The aim of the group is to encourage open and unscripted discussion of all aspects of the degradation and stabilisation of polymers, in an informal atmosphere, and to give younger researchers the opportunity to meet and discuss their work.
Although there is an invited group of distinguished speakers, the committee particularly aims to encourage presentations by younger scientists. Previous generous sponsorship of the PDDG by industrial companies has helped us to keep the meeting costs as low as possible and to subsidise attendance by students.
The officers of the PDDG are:
Chair: Professor Sahar Al-Malaika
Polymer Processing & Performance, PPP, Research Unit,
School of Engineering & Applied Science, Aston University, Aston Trianglr, Birmingham, B4 7ET, UK
Secretary: Dr. Mogon Patel
