Other Symposia and Courses Organised by the Polymer Division
The Polymer Division has a long history of organising various other symposia and courses, as listed below. In addition, the Polymer Division has in-part sponsored the Radiation Chemistry Conferences, organised by the Australian Institute for Nuclear Science and Engineering, held at the Lucas Heights (NSW) site every two years since 1972.
