SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ENGINEERING PLASTICS Xining, China August 18-21, 2015 Second Circular Organized by Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences Sponsored by Ministry of Science and Technology, China National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Polymer Division, Chinese Chemical Society (CCS) INVITATION The Seventh International Symposium on Engineering Plastics (EP’2015 Xining) will be held in Xining, Qinghai Province, China, August 18-21, 2015. Its topics will remain on polymeric materials, retaining its abbreviation EP as its logo actually over “engineering plastics” with continuous success, and keeping its tradition to act as a platform exchanging the recent progress, deep consideration and future development about polymeric materials. In addition to the basic topics for R&D of polymeric materials, this time the special focus will be on “polymeric materials for a sustainable world”. The organization committee cordially invites all of you, scientists, engineers and students involving in polymer synthesis, physics, processing and materials, to attend this symposium and have face to face discussion.

Xining Xining is the capital of Qinghai Province in western China, and the largest city on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The city was a commercial hub along the Northern Silk Road's Hexi Corridor for over 2000 years, and was a stronghold of the Han, Sui, Tang, and Song dynasties' resistance against nomadic attacks from the west. The city is located on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and lies in the Huangshui River valley, with its average altitude of about 2,200 metres (7,200 ft). It is connected by rail to Lhasa, Tibet and Lanzhou, Gansu. Xining holds sites of religious significance to Muslims and Buddhists, including the Dongguan Mosque and Ta'er Monastery. Xining has also been dubbed the Summer Resort Capital of China owing to its cool summer, with a cold semi-arid climate. Travel to and from Xining There are direct flights connecting Xining with more than 20 domestic cities in China. Insurance The organizers cannot be responsible for personal accidents or material damage, which may occur to the participants during the conference and tours. All the participants are advised to make their own arrangements in respect to health and travel insurance before commencing their journey to the conference. Climate Dubbed as the Summer Resort Capital of China, conditions in Xining are influenced by the aridity and high altitude. Nights are cold or cool throughout the year. Based on the climate data for Xining (1971–2000), in August the average high temperature is 23.9 °C (75 °F) and the average low temperature 11.1°C (52 °F), and [ precipitation 74 mm. Mean monthly sunshine hours in August is 244.4 hours. Currency Exchange In China, only RMB is used. However, exchange centers can be found at airports, most hotels and large shopping centers. The rate of exchange is about US$1.00 = RMB6.2 Yuan recently.
