Conference Announcement

We are delighted to announce the launch of the Polymer Additive, Composite, and Manufacturing Asia (PACMA) conference series!

The inaugural PACMA 2026 will be held on September 8th-11th, 2026, in the historic city of Kyoto, Japan.

Following the success of the first event, the 2nd PACMA conference will take place in Singapore in 2027, establishing a rotating platform for regional collaboration.

Conference Objectives

This conference focuses on three key areas: polymer additives, composite materials, and manufacturing technologies.

・Polymer additives: We pursue sustainable material design by enhancing functionality and environmental adaptability.

・Composite materials: This sector emphasizes the development and evaluation of novel high-strength, lightweight composites, promoting broad applications in aerospace, automotive, and other industries.

・Manufacturing: Advanced production technologies and process optimization are targeted to establish high-quality and efficient manufacturing systems.

Researchers and engineers from Asia and around the world will gather to integrate diverse knowledge and technologies, strengthen collaboration with industry, and generate comprehensive insights that contribute to solving global challenges and realizing a sustainable society.
