About the Conference Proceedings Series

 

Proceedings of International Conference on Polymer, Plastics and Sustainable Technology (IC-PLaST)

The Proceedings of International Conference on Polymer, Plastics and Sustainable Technology (IC-PLaST) series is a periodical scientific publication issued by the Center of Excellence Technology Natural Polymer and Recycle Plastic (CoE-TechnoPlast) Universitas Malikussaleh. This series aims to be a primary reference for global research and technological innovation in materials science, particularly concerning polymers, plastics, and sustainability issues.

Publication Mission

The main mission of this proceedings series is to effectively disseminate the original research findings and comprehensive reviews presented at the annual IC-PLaST conference. We are dedicated to advancing the scientific and technical understanding of:

  1. The development of Natural Polymers and Bioplastics as environmentally friendly solutions.

  2. Innovations in Plastic Recycling Technology and their contribution to the Circular Economy.

  3. The application of Green Chemistry principles in polymer synthesis and processing.

Publishing Process and Quality

Each volume of the IC-PLaST Proceedings guarantees the highest scientific standards through a rigorous double-blind peer review process. This process is conducted by an international editorial team and subject-matter experts, aiming to:

  • Ensure the relevance, originality, and methodological validity of every accepted paper.

  • Maintain the integrity and quality of the publication in accordance with international academic standards.

Thus, this proceedings series serves not only as a record of scientific meetings but also as a reliable publication that contributes significantly to the global scientific literature in the field of sustainable polymers.

Access and Audience

The IC-PLaST Proceedings are published with the expectation of being widely accessible to the scientific community. The primary audience includes:

  • Researchers and Lecturers in Chemistry, Materials Engineering, and Environmental Engineering.

  • Postgraduate Students (Master's and Ph.D.) focusing on polymer technology.

  • Industry Professionals involved in plastic manufacturing, recycling, and sustainable materials sectors.

  • Policymakers and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) concerned with waste management and environmental issues.
