The International Symposium on Polymer Analysis and Characterization, ISPAC, is a non-profit scientific organization. The purpose of ISPAC is to provide an international forum for the presentation of recent advances in the field of polymer analysis and characterization methodologies. This unique Symposium brings together analytical chemists and polymers scientists involved in the analysis and characterization of polymeric materials. Meetings are held annually, rotating to venues in the USA, Europe and Asia.

The ISPAC portion of the three-day program comprises invited lectures, poster sessions, discussions and information exchange on polymer analysis and characterization approaches, techniques and applications. Invited talks include state-of-the art developments. Each session features lectures and a one-hour open discussion period.

Lecturers are urged to include introductory material in their presentation to bring participants "up to speed", and are allotted the time to accomplish this. The discussion periods allow for extended interaction among the lecturers and the conference participants.

Full papers of invited talks and poster presentations are published in the
International Journal of Polymer Analysis and Characterization, an ISPAC affiliated journal published by Taylor & Francis. Instructions for authors will be available at the conference.
