      The 5th International Symposium on Flame-Retardant Materials & Technologies (ISFRMT2018) will be held in Hangzhou, China on June 14-16, 2018!
  
      The development of new flame-retardant materials and technologies is extremely important to the people’s life, property safety and economic growth. With the issue of EU’s RoHS, WEEE, REACH instruction and Chinese mandatory national standard, flame-retardant materials and technologies are of particular interest in academia and industrial circles for years.
  
      China has been one of countries with the largest consumption of flame-retardant products. The various demands for new flame-retardant materials and technologies have promoted an increasing number of Chinese scientists and engineers to participate in the relevant research, which is also attractive to the international cooperation. Against such background, it is essentially for China to hold an international conference on the topic of the flame retardant materials and technologies. Under the recommendation from international famous experts, every two year’s International Symposium on Flame-Retardant Materials & Technologies (ISFRMT) has been held since 2010. Previous symposia were held in Chengdu (2010 and 2012), Hefei (2014), and Changchun (2016) with great success, and attracted about 400 attendees each time.
  
      The 5th ISFRMT will be hosted by Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China on June 14-16, 2018. The themes involved New Fire Retardants, Fire Behaviors & Fire-Retardant Mechanism, Fire-Retardant Fibers & Textiles, Fire-retardant Plastics, Elastomers & Rubbers, Fire-Retardant Coatings & Foams, Fire-Retardant Composites, Toxicity, Smoke & the Environment, Standardization, Regulation & Test Method.
  
      Looking forward to making reunion of old friends, and meeting new people therein！
