      China has been one of the largest countries in the consumption of flame-retardant products. The various demands for new flame-retardant materials and technologies have promoted more and more scientists and engineers to participate in the relevant research and development activities. A number of flame retardants and flame-retardant technologies from different countries have been used by Chinese companies. 2010' International Symposium on Flame-Retardant Materials and Technologies ( ISFRMT 2010 ), which is co-organized by China Flame Retardant Society and Sichuan University , will take place in Chengdu , Sichuan on Sept. 17-20 , 2010 , and provide an excellent forum for the introduction of new ideas, materials and technologies in flame retardancy for participants and a communication bridge between academia and industry. That is, ISFRMT 2010 will provide a unique opportunity to exchange information and to discuss the future perspectives of the cutting-edge academic research and the latest advances in industrial technologies in flame retardant fields.

      During the conference, a small-scale exhibition is available. However, the space is limited, and will sell quickly as added bonus to exhibitors and participants alike. Just before the conference (on Sept.15-17, 2010), a large-scale exhibition, the 5th International New Flame-Retardant Technology and Flame-Retardant Material Industry Exhibition will be held in Shanghai . More detailed information can be found from the website: http://www.flameexpo.com/en/ .

      Further, Expo 2010 Shanghai China, with a theme as "Better City, Better Life" representing the common wish of the whole humankind for better living in future urban environments, will be hosted in Shanghai from May 1 to Oct 31, 2010. Therefore, the participants can also visit Expo 2010 just before or after ISFRMT 2010, and take the occasion for China to bring the world at home, and for the world to feel at home in China.

      Also, some excellent full-papers of this symposium will be selected by the International Advisory Board of ISFRMT 2010 to publish in Polymers for Advanced Technologies as a Special Issue.
