Information for authors
The contributions to the POF symposium will be official part of the fiber conference
and will thus be a part of the proceedings. The top 15 contributions will also enter a
special issue of the Polymer International journal. We are looking forward to your
submission of full articles in Word format by February, 20th 2017. You can email
them directly to [email protected]. For style guides and more
information please refer to the Fiber Society’s website or contact Pam Gabriel
([email protected]).
We hope for a broad interest with many exciting contributions and are looking
forward to seeing you soon in Aachen.
With best regards,
