About
PolyTrib 2026 – The 6th International Conference on Polymer Tribology
This international conference brings together researchers and industry professionals to discuss the latest advances in polymer tribology, spanning topics such as processing and manufacturing, modelling, machine learning, and applications. The programme features keynote talks, technical presentations, poster sessions, and networking opportunities, fostering collaboration between academia and industry.
Key focus areas include sustainable materials and solutions, such as PFAS-free lubricants, polymer components for energy applications, recycling strategies, and circular economy approaches, alongside emerging topics like 2D materials, additive manufacturing, and biotribology.
Participants will also have the opportunity to join a guided tour of the MAX IV Laboratory facilities on November 25.
During our events we sometimes take photographs and short film clips to profile our activities. Please let us know if you don’t want to be in any photos/films before we start the event. Some webinars are recorded to be used for educational purposes in the LINXS website.
