The 9th International Conference on Modification, Degradation and Stabilization of Polymers (MoDeSt) took place in Cracow in the first week of September. The conference, which focused on the newest developments on antioxidants, UV-light stabilizers and flame retardants in polymer applications, was also obligatory for the TCKT to visit. A presentation about the weatherability and water uptake of natural fiber reinforced composites was held by Martina Prambauer as a contribution to the scientific program. New ideas and valuable exchanges with the experts in the field made the conference visit very illuminating.
