Confined Polymers far from Thermodynamic Equilibrium Workshop 2025

​​

A workshop under IIT Bombay SCPP-IOE scheme as a joint initiative by IIT Bombay and ULB Brussels, Belgium. Confined Polymers Far from Thermodynamic Equilibrium Workshop (CPTEW 2025) explores the behavior of polymer systems constrained within physical, geometric, or topological boundaries while subjected to nonequilibrium conditions. Topics include the dynamics, structure, and phase behavior of polymers in confined environments, such as thin films, polymer-nanoparticle hybrids or crowded media, under external fields, flow, or chemical gradients.
