Workshop on“Polymers in fast flows”

28-31 July, 2019 – Anacapri (Capri, Italy)

The workshop took place from the 28th to the 31th of July 2019 in Anacapri, in the beautiful island of Capri.

The workshop aimed at discussing recent advances on our understanding of fast flows of unentangled and entangled polymers, for which a comprehensive molecular theory does not yet exist.

The format included invited and contributed (oral and poster) presentations and ample time for formal and informal discussion.
