Announcement

The Gumference is an international conference that is organized in a virtual manner to make it as accessible as possible to interested parties from academia and industry over the world.

Papers presented at the Gumference will be published in a permanent Topical Collection of the scientific journal Polymer Bulletin (Publisher: Springer) dedicated to novel and advanced testing methods that make connections to fundamental scientific principles, even showing how test results from simple pieces of uncured/cured elastomers or other soft polymers relate to real geometry and loading conditions, creating new opportunities to link laboratory test data to real product properties.

Organizing Team: Radek Stoček and Eric Euchler
