15° CBPOL

O Congresso Brasileiro de Polímeros, CBPOL, é o maior fórum brasileiro de ciência e tecnologia de polímeros. Promovido pela Associação Brasileira de Polímeros, ABPol, que completou 30 anos em 2018, o CBPol é um evento bianual que ocorre desde 1991 e que atrai cerca de 1000 participantes por evento. Em 2019, o 15° CBPol será realizado em Bento Gonçalves-RS, na Serra Gaúcha, entre os dias 27 e 31 de outubro. Neste evento, cientistas renomados internacionalmente, pesquisadores e estudantes do Brasil, da América Latina e de outros países apresentarão e discutirão suas pesquisas em polímeros em áreas básica e aplicada. Paralelamente, haverá exposição e palestras técnicas de empresas produtoras de polímeros e de equipamentos para laboratórios.
