This symposium to be held in Montpellier from 6th to 9th June 2022, is the twelveth in a series the first of which of which was held in Montpellier-Le Corum in May 1989. As with its predecessors, the symposium is organized to bring together scientists, technologists and engineers interested in all aspects of high temperature polymers and more generally in organic & inorganic high performance materials.

The feature of polyimides and other heterocyclic polymers are now well recognized and used for long term temperature durability in the range of 250 – 350°C.
New structures coming from the chemical modifications of the heterocyclic backbones or from the creation of new architectures are under development for advanced technologies for the future.
The symposium will review synthesis, mechanisms, ultimate properties, physico-chemical properties, processing and applications of such high performance materials needed in advanced technologies.
