ABOUT THE CONFERENCE About Indian Institute of Technology KharagpurthRediscovery of natural rubber in the forests of Amazon valley in the 15 century (1495-1498) set the ball
rolling for the last 500 years. The discovery of vulcanization in 1839 by Sir Charles Goodyear and the
discovery of pneumatic tires in 1888 revolutionized the automobile industry setting the root for the historic
development of a new field of science and technology the Rubber Technology for the benefit of the human
race. The use of rubber has become redundant which has necessitated its growth and a tough competition
began among the manufacturers for enhancing speed, comfort and quality of the tires apart from reducing
its cost, which as well spread to other strategic areas of its use.
Subsequent introduction of the concept of 'Polymer' in the twentieth century in 1920 by Sir Herman Staudinger
has set up a new trend in the world of macromolecules evolving a broader area of science, 'The polymer
science'. The discovery of polymerization processes by Carothers in 1928 led to rapid development in the
synthesis of new polymers both rubber and thermoplastics towards 1930's. The scientific principles behind
compounding and processing of rubber and thermoplastics led to the development of different processing
machineries and test equipment towards 1950's. At the same time a major upheaval took place in the
synthesis arena with the invention of co-ordination catalysts by Zeigler and Natta which gave a new dimension
to the manufacture of stereo-specific polymers and tri-block copolymers. Further value addition took place by
dynamically cross - linking the elastomeric phase in the TPE towards 1970's to develop a new class of
polymers called thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs).The technology took a new turn with the introduction of the
thnano-concept and the nano-materials and nano composites were evolved by the end of 20 century. This
created another milestone in the history in the progress of Polymer Science and Rubber Technology.
The primary objective of this conference is to disseminate knowledge in the field of polymer science and
rubber technology among the practicing engineers, scientists and technologists working in these areas and
also to motivate the young scientists and budding technologists and entrepreneurs in these fields to enrich
their knowledge by interacting with peers in their respective areas. This conference will be attended by
academicians, industry personnel, R&D personnel and the manufacturers of various machineries and test
equipment as well as raw material manufacturers. It will help in bridging the gap between industries and
academia and help in transmitting knowledge amongst them.
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, the first of its
kind was established in the year 1951 near Kharagpur at the
Hijli Detention Camp in the eastern part of India. Probably
this is the only Institute in the world which started its journey
from a prison house. This Institute is the largest and oldest
among the family of 16 IITs established by the Government of
India. It houses 19 Departments, 7 Centers of excellence
and 8 Schools in a lush green and serene campus free from
urban noise and pollution, representing the modern
“Gurukul Ashram” of the developed India. The campus
provides modern amenities to the residents like green parks,
huge playgrounds, big auditoriums, students' hostels, residences for faculty and staff members, health care
centre, cultural-cum-social and recreational zones for campus community and so on. The Institute has just
celebrated its Diamond Jubilee in 2011. One can say that the campus has all elements to fall in love at first sight.
Rubber Technology Centre
Rubber Technology Centre (RTC) is a unique centre of
excellence the first of its kind to be established in the country
at IIT Kharagpur. It started its journey as a Rubber Technology
Laboratory in the year 1955 under the auspices of the then
Department of Applied Chemistry for technical man power
and skill development as well as research in the field of High
polymer and Rubber Technology by the Ministry of Higher
Education, Government of India. Later an independent
Centre was established in the year 1981 to cater to the need
of the growing rubber industries and R&D organizations in
the country. The Centre has acquired various sophisticated
process, test and analytical equipment through various projects from India and abroad and works hand in hand
with the rubber industries in the country. The center has developed process and product formulations and
transferred technology to various rubber industries in the tire and non-tire sectors through its pioneering research
work during the last three decades. The Centre is now well-equipped with different modern analytical instruments
required for the basic and applied research in rubber and polymer science and technology. The state of the art
research program of the Centre is focused on the development of new products, novel processing technology,
polymer blend and alloys, advanced materials like nano-materials and nano-composites, novel block and graft
copolymers, thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and vulcanizates (TPV), smart materials, thermo-reversible self-
healing materials, EMI shielding materials, conductive rubber composites, biomedical applications of polymers
and so on.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE About Indian Institute of Technology KharagpurthRediscovery of natural rubber in the forests of Amazon valley in the 15 century (1495-1498) set the ball
rolling for the last 500 years. The discovery of vulcanization in 1839 by Sir Charles Goodyear and the
discovery of pneumatic tires in 1888 revolutionized the automobile industry setting the root for the historic
development of a new field of science and technology the Rubber Technology for the benefit of the human
race. The use of rubber has become redundant which has necessitated its growth and a tough competition
began among the manufacturers for enhancing speed, comfort and quality of the tires apart from reducing
its cost, which as well spread to other strategic areas of its use.
Subsequent introduction of the concept of 'Polymer' in the twentieth century in 1920 by Sir Herman Staudinger
has set up a new trend in the world of macromolecules evolving a broader area of science, 'The polymer
science'. The discovery of polymerization processes by Carothers in 1928 led to rapid development in the
synthesis of new polymers both rubber and thermoplastics towards 1930's. The scientific principles behind
compounding and processing of rubber and thermoplastics led to the development of different processing
machineries and test equipment towards 1950's. At the same time a major upheaval took place in the
synthesis arena with the invention of co-ordination catalysts by Zeigler and Natta which gave a new dimension
to the manufacture of stereo-specific polymers and tri-block copolymers. Further value addition took place by
dynamically cross - linking the elastomeric phase in the TPE towards 1970's to develop a new class of
polymers called thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs).The technology took a new turn with the introduction of the
thnano-concept and the nano-materials and nano composites were evolved by the end of 20 century. This
created another milestone in the history in the progress of Polymer Science and Rubber Technology.
The primary objective of this conference is to disseminate knowledge in the field of polymer science and
rubber technology among the practicing engineers, scientists and technologists working in these areas and
also to motivate the young scientists and budding technologists and entrepreneurs in these fields to enrich
their knowledge by interacting with peers in their respective areas. This conference will be attended by
academicians, industry personnel, R&D personnel and the manufacturers of various machineries and test
equipment as well as raw material manufacturers. It will help in bridging the gap between industries and
academia and help in transmitting knowledge amongst them.
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, the first of its
kind was established in the year 1951 near Kharagpur at the
Hijli Detention Camp in the eastern part of India. Probably
this is the only Institute in the world which started its journey
from a prison house. This Institute is the largest and oldest
among the family of 16 IITs established by the Government of
India. It houses 19 Departments, 7 Centers of excellence
and 8 Schools in a lush green and serene campus free from
urban noise and pollution, representing the modern
“Gurukul Ashram” of the developed India. The campus
provides modern amenities to the residents like green parks,
huge playgrounds, big auditoriums, students' hostels, residences for faculty and staff members, health care
centre, cultural-cum-social and recreational zones for campus community and so on. The Institute has just
celebrated its Diamond Jubilee in 2011. One can say that the campus has all elements to fall in love at first sight.
Rubber Technology Centre
Rubber Technology Centre (RTC) is a unique centre of
excellence the first of its kind to be established in the country
at IIT Kharagpur. It started its journey as a Rubber Technology
Laboratory in the year 1955 under the auspices of the then
Department of Applied Chemistry for technical man power
and skill development as well as research in the field of High
polymer and Rubber Technology by the Ministry of Higher
Education, Government of India. Later an independent
Centre was established in the year 1981 to cater to the need
of the growing rubber industries and R&D organizations in
the country. The Centre has acquired various sophisticated
process, test and analytical equipment through various projects from India and abroad and works hand in hand
with the rubber industries in the country. The center has developed process and product formulations and
transferred technology to various rubber industries in the tire and non-tire sectors through its pioneering research
work during the last three decades. The Centre is now well-equipped with different modern analytical instruments
required for the basic and applied research in rubber and polymer science and technology. The state of the art
research program of the Centre is focused on the development of new products, novel processing technology,
polymer blend and alloys, advanced materials like nano-materials and nano-composites, novel block and graft
copolymers, thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and vulcanizates (TPV), smart materials, thermo-reversible self-
healing materials, EMI shielding materials, conductive rubber composites, biomedical applications of polymers
and so on.
