Nordic Rheology Conference & Nordic Polymer Days
Espoo, June 3-5, 2020

In 2020, the Nordic Rheology Conference (NRC2020) will be organized jointly with the Nordic Polymer Days (NPD2020). The special theme of the conference is 'Sustainable Chemistry and Materials'. However, contributions from all areas of rheology and polymer research are warmly welcome.

The NRC&NPD2020 conference will take place at Aalto University, located in the city of Espoo. The university is conveniently located about 10 kilometers from the center of Helsinki, and it can be easily reached by public transportation (metro / buses).

Minna Hakkarainen is a Professor of Polymer Technology at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. Her research interest is sustainable polymers including biobased, degradable and/or recyclable polymers.

Anne-Marie Hermansson is a Professor of Structured biomaterials and Food Science at the Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. Over the years, her research has focused on biopolymers and biomaterials related to food.

Robert Luxenhofer is an Associate Professor of Functional Polymer Materials at the University of Würzburg, Germany. His research interests are novel drug delivery systems for highly hydrophobic drugs as well as proteins and RNA/DNA.

Tiina Nypelö is an Assistant Professor at the Division of Applied Chemistry at the Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. Her research interests are in lignocellulosic materials and their utilization in engineered products.

Bernhard A. Wolf is a Professor of the Physical Chemistry of Polymers at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany. His main scientific interests lie in the field of rheology, thermodynamics and polymer fractionation.
