The first international conference PDFA, Polymers: Design, Function and Application, will be organized by the MDPI open-access journal Polymers. This event will present cutting-edge research at the interface of design/function or function/application of polymers as a lecture or a poster. With its focus on function- and application-driven polymer research, the conference aims to address the development and testing of the next generation of polymeric materials with previously unrivaled properties for advanced applications. The inaugural conference will be held as a two-day event in Barcelona, Spain, 22-23 March 2018.
