Polymer Dynamics at Solid Interfaces: From Adsorption to Adhesion

We are pleased to announce the upcoming seminar organized by the eb-POLICOM research group, featuring Prof. Keiji Tanaka from Kyushu University, Japan, an internationally recognized researcher in polymer physics and interface science.

Title: Polymer Dynamics at Solid Interfaces: From Adsorption to Adhesion
Speaker: Prof. Keiji Tanaka, Director of the Center for Interface Polymer and Molecular Adhesion Science, Kyushu University, Japan
Date: Friday, 18 September 2026
Time: 16:00
Venue: Aula Polivalente, Building A

The seminar will address molecular processes occurring at solid interfaces, with particular emphasis on polymer adsorption and its relationship with adhesion. Prof. Tanaka will discuss how the dynamics of polymers at interfaces influence their interactions with solid surfaces, providing insights into the fundamental mechanisms governing polymer adhesion.

The seminar will be of interest to researchers and students working in polymer science, interface science, soft matter, materials science, and related fields.
